As regulatory bodies, Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) agencies have the potential to be particularly effective prevention partners in reducing underage access to alcohol as well as high risk drinking by college students. The right laws and regulations can minimise opportunities for young people to use alcohol and maximise the opportunities for effective enforcement and prevention. Today, ABCs are engaged in a variety of programs to carry out these mandates. This document used a model community approach to demonstrate the role that an Alcohol Beverage Control agency can play in assisting community and university collaborative efforts to reduce dangerous and underage drinking. The Town of Bloomsburg and Bloomsburg University, located in north-central Pennsylvania, were chosen to be the pilot community for this project. (Author/publisher)
