According to #NIAAA, in 2022. 5.8 million youth ages 12-20 reported drinking alcohol beyond "just a few sips" in the past month. Talk to your #teens and young adults to educate them on the dangers of underage drinking, and how it can change their lives. #preventunderagedrinking

Did you know that the legal #BAC limit is different for different age groups? Underage drinkers can get a #DUI for a BAC of .02 or higher. This is equivalent to about one standard drink in the bloodstream. People 21+ will get a DUI w/a BAC of .08 or higher. #DriveSober #BernCoDWI

Planning a summer bbq with friends? Make sure you include nonalcoholic beverage options like mocktails or soda, to ensure guests who are driving still have something fun to enjoy! What's your favorite mocktail?

Did you know on average, it takes about 1 hour for 1 drink to be processed through the body and for your #BAC to return to 0.0? However, factors like weight, the amount of alcohol in your one drink, liver health, and more can skew these numbers. #preventdrunkdriving

If you’re planning on drinking alcohol make sure you know the standard drink sizes so you don't consume too much. And, if you do plan on drinking make sure to plan a safe ride home by designating a driver or using a ride-share app to get home safely. #DriveSober
