April is National Alcohol Awareness Month and the Mecklenburg County ABC Board Law Enforcement Division wants to take this opportunity to remind you that there is only one way to sell and possess alcohol and that is in a responsible manner.

Always remember that it is illegal to buy or give alcohol to anyone who is under the age of twenty one (21) or who is presently intoxicated. Never operate a motor vehicle if you have consumed alcohol; there is no excuse.

During the month of April, the Law Enforcement Division will make a concentrated effort to make sure that all members of the community comply with alcohol laws in our state. ABC Officers will be out in the community providing training through our ASSET class. ABC Officers will also be participating in DWI enforcement operations, conducting minor campaigns, and inspecting local businesses who sell alcohol.

It is the mission of the Mecklenburg County ABC Board Law Enforcement Division to make sure that alcohol is handled in a safe and responsible manner.
