Part of our mission is to promote responsible sales, encourage responsible consumption, and prohibit the sales of alcohol to minors. We encourage parents to talk to children about the dangers of the use of alcohol and we provide tools to our licensed agency liquor store partners to prevent the sales of alcohol to minors. We collaborate with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), by working with the Alcohol, Tobacco and Substance Use Prevention team on prevention programs.
