    Reduce Retail Access:

  7. * Compliance Checks: Youth age 21 or older apply to work with the ABC by acting as underage buyers of alcohol. The youth decoys attempt to purchase alcohol. Clerks who complete the sale are then cited by the ABC Enforcement Agents.

  9. * Conduct an Alco-pops Presentation at an Alcohol Licensee for employees

    10. Reduce Social Access:

  12. * Sticker Shock for Mixers: youth place youth-targeted stickers on products youth might buy to mix with the alcohol an adult has provided (Recommended for Dry Counties).
  13. * Table Tents and Counter-top Displays- youth place displays in businesses/ retailers to promote "don't provide" messages to adults/parents and to involve a greater part of their community (Recommended for Limited Sales Counties where liquor is only sold in restaurants by the drink)
