http://www.winternet.com/~martinez/index.html
This network of Minnesota citizens works to reduce youth access to alcohol. AAT is seeking to change state and local policies that would hold both merchants and other adults accountable for selling or giving alcohol to underage persons. The web site includes information about the program and its strategies, and includes a compilation of fact sheets and resources on youth access to alcohol.

The Council’s web site has pages devoted to enforcement efforts, such as Cops In Shops and the Front Lines program (promotional materials for minimum purchase age awareness and enforcement). The site further describes the Council’s involvement in efforts to pass zero tolerance laws and legislation allowing administrative license revocation for the prevention of impaired driving. Educational programs for parents, teens, and college students are also featured at this web site.
