The Century Council. 1991. 1310 G Street, NW, Suite 600, Washington DC, 20005. http://www.centurycouncil.org/

The Century Council is funded by America’s leading distillers. The council’s main focuses are underage drinking and drunk driving. The Council works to provide educational programs on alcohol for students as young as middle school to those in college. They also work to pass drunk driving and minor purchasing laws for states. The Council was the main force behind the no- tolerance alcohol level law that has now been passed in seven states. They are also advocates against minor’s purchasing alcohol and have tried to develop promotions against the cause. The Century Council has funded the Alcohol 101 and Alcohol 101 Plus Programs for high school and college students. The Century Council could provide a great resource to find speakers to talk to high school or college students about the risks of underage drinking. The programs that they offer would also be of interest to high schools and college students.
