About Too Smart To Start

Too Smart To Start is a public education initiative designed to:

  • Provide resources to help communities educate youth about the harms of alcohol use
  • Support the efforts of parents and caregivers to prevent their children from using alcohol
Teens

Teens don’t need alcohol to fit in, deal with stress, or have fun.

Youth

Alcohol can be harmful to the health of adolescents, but thankfully most young people ages 12 to 20 do not drink.
