Full description:
Alcohol Policy Interventions aim to reduce the harmful consequences of youth alcohol consumption, including the increased risk for experiencing violence. Laws, policies, and strategies to reduce youth alcohol consumption may include limits on commercial availability by managing outlet density and days and hours of alcohol sales, limiting social availability and youth possession in conjunction with social host liability ordinances, and enhancing enforcement of laws prohibiting sales to minors.
