Safe Haven for Underage Drinkers

Underage drinking is an alcohol-related incident.

However, if an underage drinker refers before any other kind of incident, there is no penalty for the underage drinking.

We do not want to deter anyone from asking for help or referring someone for help before an incident occurs!

3.11

RIGHT SPIRIT

The “Right Spirit” campaign was launched in 1995 with some success, but the 2006 Navy Inspector General’s Alcohol Abuse Prevention Study found that the campaign is now viewed as dated and ineffective. The study recommended that the Navy Personnel Command (PERSCOM) develop a dynamic and relevant promotional campaign to reduce alcohol abuse that replaces “Right Spirit.”

New campaign should be out by the end of the year. Continue to use current campaign!
