Is Our Alcohol Class Right for You?

The Rethink‑a‑Drink™ program is built on a simple, respectful principle: your choices belong to you. Our goal is to provide clear, honest, evidence‑based information about alcohol use—its risks, its impacts, and the decisions that shape your relationship with it. We do not assume you want to stop drinking. We do not pressure you to make a specific choice. Instead, we give you the tools, insight, and perspective to make informed decisions that align with your values and goals.

Who This Class Is For

This course is appropriate for a wide range of individuals, including:

• Adults who need or want to complete an alcohol awareness or alcohol education class
• Minors cited for an alcohol‑related offense or Minor in Possession (MIP)
• Students completing an alcohol education requirement as an alternative to suspension or expulsion
• College students required to complete an Alcohol Awareness program
• Parents concerned about a child’s alcohol use
• Individuals seeking to better understand their own alcohol consumption and risks

We offer two versions of the program—one for adults and one specifically designed for minors. If you have been instructed to complete an alcohol education class, one of these versions will almost always meet your requirement.

NOTE: This class is not intended to address Driving Under the Inflluence court requirements. This class is not intended to treat or diagnose an alcohol problem. This class is an alcohol education class an alcohol awareness class.
