First Time in the World of Blogging

Alas, it is time to become part of the 21st Century and begin to harness the power of the free publication (the blog) to bring to light the work of coalition and prevention. This forum will focus on those things that can only be solved by the entire community. We hope this forum will force people to think, have a conversation and maybe even inspire to action.

About the author(s) This blog will be serviced by many people who work for or on behalf of a coalition called The Community Partnership, located in Toledo, Ohio. The primary author is Deacon D. who has been working in the substance abuse (alcohol, tobacco and other drugs) for 16 years and the coalition field for 13 years.

Here are some thoughts to chew on. 1. Is the pervasiveness of the alcohol industry negatively impacting our society? 2. Do their alternative products such as Budweiser BBQ sauce promote underage drinking? and 3. Are there things we ("the average joe") do about underage drinking?
If you have thoughts post them, we will be posting our ideas later in the week.
Happy Reading!!!
Deacon D.
