RDFA Executive Committee Affirms Support for State's Legal Drinking Age

At it's monthly meeting September 9, 2008, the Regional Drug Free Alliance executive committee voted unanimously to affirm its support of the state's current minimum legal drinking age.

RDFA will continue to participate in the national conversation started by the Amethyst Initiative by providing sound scientific data on the impact of substance abuse, including alcohol, on the brain, on overall physical health, cognitive development, family function and dysfunction and public health and safety.
