Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving

Your child might be too young to drink. Your child might even be too young to drive. But your child is still at risk. Drunk driving is one of the nation’s deadliest crimes – killing nearly 13,000 children, parents, grandparents, neighbors and friends every year. That’s why MADD has launched the Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving – a bold program with the ambitious, but attainable goal of eliminating drunk driving once and for all. By mobilizing a network of affiliates, like-minded organizations and volunteers like you, we’re working to protect your children by taking the fight against drunk driving to an unprecedented level through:
  1. High-visibility law enforcement, including sobriety checkpoints
  2. Ignition interlocks for all convicted drunk drivers
  3. Advanced vehicle technologies that will prevent drunk driving
  4. Public support

Social Host

Thinking about hosting a party where youth under 21 have access to alcohol? Think again. Social host liability refers to laws that hold individuals responsible for underage drinking events on property they own, lease or otherwise control. Unlike laws that prohibit furnishing alcohol to youth under 21, social host laws focus on preventing underage drinking on private property without regard to who furnishes the alcohol.
