Graduation Season Letter to the Editor

May 16, 2014

 

Dear Editor:

 

Graduation season is a milestone for high school students and their parents. With talk of celebrations and excitement in the air, now is the perfect window of opportunity to have a conversation with your teen about making safe, smart decisions about alcohol.

 

Parents play an important role in helping teens make smart decisions when it comes to alcohol. In fact, the GfK Roper Youth Report reaffirms¹ that parents continue to be the strongest influence on youth decisions about drinking and have been for more than twenty years. Parents who want to take advantage of this chance to positively influence their teens can start by downloading a free copy of the Anheuser-Busch Family Talk About Drinking parent guide at www.Facebook.com/ABFamilyTalk. The guide and other available resources aim to help prevent underage drinking by encouraging parents to start and have ongoing conversations about alcohol with their children.

 

We at Silver Eagle Distributors would like thank the parents, educators, law enforcement and many others who are making progress in reducing underage drinking. Let us continue this positive trend by talking with our teens this graduation season.

 

Sincerely,

 

John L. Nau, III
President & CEO
