I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW:  Underage Drinking


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     In an attack on a new audience, the "Let's Stop Underage Drinking Before
It Starts" initiative by the Anheuser-Busch Companies merits our attention.
It is directed to parents of young children, and it is backed up by some of
the best educational material we have seen in quite some time.  The free set
of parent guides were written under the guidance of authorities on alcohol
abuse, family counseling and child development.  The guides include strategies
to help parents communicate effectively with their children in an effort to
prevent underage drinking.  And this is a battle that must be won.  The
guides, more like booklets, are colorful, well organized and easy to read and
understand.  And they couldn't be more easy to obtain.  Simply call the toll
free number; 1-800-359-TALK, and request your set of guides.  A taped message
will instruct you further and from four to six weeks later you should receive
the material.  The two guides entitled, "How to Talk to Your Kids About
Drinking. . . A Parents Guide" and "How to Talk to Your Kids About
Drinking. . . and Driving" suggest appropriate methods, language and
situations for parents to address the topic of drinking.  Don't miss out on
these great booklets.
