CAHS’ Prevention Division launched a major awareness campaign on Nov. 22, 2022, at Calandro’s Supermarket on Perkins Road in Baton Rouge, warning that it is illegal to purchase alcohol for persons under 21.
The “Sticker Shock” campaign will continue in CAHS’ seven-parish region for at least the next three years and will include warning stickers on containers of alcohol, decals and posters in stores, television ads, and social media outreach.
The campaign warns that penalties for buying alcohol for persons under 21 include arrest, jail, fines, and loss of driver’s license.
