A nationwide campaign aims to shock those who would buy alcohol for underage drinkers.


Community Striving to Prevent Underage Drinking is a local group participating in the nationwide Project Sticker Shock campaign, a "youth-led initiative to change adult attitudes about selling and providing alcohol to minors."


Members of Columbus High School Sigma Beta Club, sponsored by Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, visited 16 locations in Columbus Wednesday to place stickers on beer and alcoholic beverages to "reach adults who might be tempted to buy alcohol for youth under 21."


The stickers were provided by Mississippians Advocating Against Underage Drinking.


"We want to raise awareness that it's illegal for adults to provide alcohol to underage kids," said Molly Portera, group supervisor.


The Columbus Police Department also has lent its support to the Sticker Shock campaign.


"We are very excited about this event and have gotten a lot of positive response from stores in the community," said CPD Officer Terrie Songer.

I say lower the drinking age to 18. That would be the quickest and most effective way to lower the number of underage drinkers.
