New Tool to Stop Teens From Drinking, Driving (North Carolina)

The Mecklenburg County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board is taking its fight against underage drinking straight to students.

Friday night, officials were at the Myers Park Mallard Creek game.

They took along the first marked ABC car in North Carolina, reminding students just how serious they are about underage drinking.

The Mecklenburg ABC and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Drug Free Coalition want students to have fun, legally.

"Alcohol's not needed to have a good time. Enjoy football Friday night. Do it safely, and do it without alcohol," said Mary Ward with the Mecklenburg County ABC.

Throughout the fall, the ABC will be visiting other high school football games.
