Prevention better tool financially

wow said in the Effingham Forum:

Thanks for the information. I am from Effingham County and I must say that although I dicourage underage drinking this was by far over stepping their boundries! It is very expensive to run such test and they felt compelled to have these test 3 times over the course of the yer? If they feel that this is such a big issue, what steps are they taking to prevent the drinking? I agree with you and appreciate your input!
