New Program &
Cutting Edge
Technology Combat
Underage Drinking
As tens of thousands of students
return to schools across the state,
the West Virginia Alcohol Beverage
Control Administration (WVABCA)
would like for all students to be
successful and safe. Alcohol can
often have tragic results when
illegally consumed by youth under
the age of 21. Beyond the dangers of
drinking and driving, students
should also consider that misusing
alcohol can lead to poor grades,
accidents, falls, drowning and sexual
assaults.
To combat this issue, the
WVABCA is launching a new
program, titled the Myers Manual
and using cutting edge technology
to scan ID's.
The Myers Manual was created
and designed to increase the
understanding of the effects of
alcohol on the body, help identify the
warning signs of alcohol poisoning
and enable friends and family to
properly respond to an alcohol
poisoning emergency. The program
is named after Kurt Myers, who at
15 years of age died from alcohol
poisoning.
Recently, the WVABCA attended
the statewide Prevention Resource
Officer (PRO) conference where they
trained nearly 100 police officers
who are assigned to and work in
schools across the state. The PRO's
were provided with the new program
and it is anticipated that thousands
of students will be trained. The
Myers Manual educational program
is available to the public on the
WVABCA website.
In addition, WVABCA
enforcement agents are working
with law enforcement agencies
across the state to conduct special
operations to ensure that underage
youth are not obtaining alcohol by
using a fake, altered, borrowed or an
expired ID. This technology allows
agents to scan ID's more effectively.
A training video and carding poster
is available on the WVABCAwebsite
