Statewide Town Hall Meetings
March 2010

Project Sticker Shock
October 2009
Studies show that many youth in our state have access to alcohol because someone over 21 is buying it for them. In response, coalitions across Mississippi participated in Project Sticker Shock. This project was sponsored by Mississippians Advocating Against Underage Drinking (MAAUD) and funded in part by the Mississippi Department of Mental Health, Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Abuse.
Coalitions across the state visited various convenience stores, gas stations, and supermarkets, placing over 10,000 stickers on cases of beer and wine coolers. The stickers alert adults to think twice before purchasing alcohol for someone underage.
