“Out Of Their Hands” Targets Underage Drinking

Spring is in the air.  From Lexington High to Dreher, for many high school students that means it’s time to shop for a dress, rent a tuxedo, or purchase a cap and gown. 

Prom, high school graduation, and first week at the beach often go hand in hand with underage drinking. 

Underage drinking is a serious problem in South Carolina and can lead to serious consequences. 

South Carolina has a zero tolerance policy for underage drinking. If you are arrested for an alcohol related offense in South Carolina you risk losing your drivers license, your college scholarship, and even your freedom.

To help address the problems associated with underage drinking, the State of South Carolina has teamed up with local Alcohol Enforcement Teams, Drug Free Community Coalitions and your County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Authority in an initiative named “Out of Their Hands.”
