Allentown High School

April is Alcohol Awareness month. It is a time to bring understanding and prevention to alcohol abuse.  Did you know  Alcohol-related problems continue to take a heavy toll on individuals, families, and communities. Researchers estimate that each year there are more than 178,000 alcohol-related deaths, making alcohol a leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Alcohol is a significant factor in the deaths of people younger than age 21 in the United States. This includes deaths from motor vehicle crashes, homicides, alcohol overdoses, falls, burns, drownings, and suicides.  The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence has chosen the color purple to represent and acknowledge the many lives that are affected by alcohol use and support individuals who are impacted.  Let's Wear Purple tomorrow April 19th to raise public awareness to help us acknowledge the importance of alcohol misuse.
