April is Alcohol Awareness Month

This April marks the 25th anniversary of Alcohol Awareness Month.  This year's theme is "One Too Many”, highlighting the impact that alcohol, alcohol-related problems and alcoholism have on individuals, families and children, and in the workplace.  The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence has a free guide for schools, parents, students, religious organizations, and media for planning awareness activities.
