The “We 
for 21” and “We
for 21 Too” Programs are community based initiatives
with the goal of preventing underage access and consumption of alcohol. Under
this program, Somerset County liquor-licensed establishments sign pledges
stating that they will consistently ask for identification when serving young
customers. Upon signing the pledge, the establishment receives a wealth of
promotional and educational materials, including posters, coasters, napkins, and
stickers to display the “We for 21” message, and a booklet with color
photos of drivers licenses for all of the United States and Canada, and Mexico
to assist in spotting false I.D.
By signing the “We for 21 Too” pledge parents are stating they will not
serve alcohol at their teen parties. Under the “We
for 21 Too” program,
participants similarly will receive a wealth of resource materials. For example,
resource materials on how to talk to kids about alcohol, information on underage
drinking laws and penalties, and promotional stickers are available to
participating families.
If you would like information on either of these programs, please contact the
Somerset Council by sending and e-mail to scadd307@aol.com or call 908-722-4900.
