Fourth of July Safety

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports hospital emergency visits dealing with drinking are high during the Fourth of July holiday, doubling when it comes to underage drinking.

A 2014 study by SAMHSA showed the number of underage drinking-related visits to the emergency room was 87 percent higher during the Fourth of July weekend than any other day in July (Next Step Community Solutions).

Check out these ideas on how to help prevent underage drinking this holiday from Next Step Community Solutions and NIDA for Teens!

How will you prevent underage drinking in your community this holiday weekend?
