Accepting the challenge is simple:
If you are under 21, do not drink and never get in a car with somebody who has been drinking.
If you are over 21, do not drink and drive, and be a good role model for our children.
If you sell alcohol, check IDs, train your employees to obey the law, and keep alcohol out of the hands of our children.
If you are a part of our justice system, enforce our laws and keep our children safe.
