Students Use ‘Sticker Shock’ To Deter Underage Drinking
WESTFIELD — The Westfield Youth Peer Leadership Group and Westfield liquor stores have partnered to remind adults over the age of 21 about the risks of providing alcohol to minors. The Sticker Shock campaign brings awareness of underage drinking, one of the priorities of the Peer Leadership Group. Stickers are placed on the products throughout the store and act as “warning” labels to inform the public of the consequences they can face if they provide or purchase alcohol for minors.
