THE PROBLEM - Young people in California have access to alcohol 53% of 11 th graders have had one full drink at least once in their lifetime. 13% of 9 th graders have had one full drink in the past 30 days. 7% of 9 th graders have binged drank in the last 30 days (5 or more drinks in a row). 21% of 11 th graders in their life have either driven a car when they have been drinking or have been in a car driven by a friend when he or she had been drinking. 77% of 11 th graders and 59% of 9 th graders said it was fairly easy to very easy to get alcohol. In Glenn County young people report that they get alcohol from older friends and family members and that they see minors drinking at cultural and recreational events where adults are present.

ENVIRONMENTAL PREVENTION ONE SOLUTION - WHY TRACE? TRACE requires no cost. It is free! TRACE is about getting to the root of the problem of underage drinking. Not about getting someone into trouble. It is about trying to change norms. Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) does the work for the police department. The Police Department or Law Enforcement only has to make ONE call. Then a simultaneous investigation is set into motion to TRACE how the minor got access to alcohol. Law Enforcement can call on any sort of negative alcohol related incident (crashes, sexual assaults, fights, etc.) involving a minor. It does not have to involve a death. If merchants sold or “older others” provided the alcohol, they could be liable for damages, receive fines and/or lose their license to sell alcohol.

TRACE FACTS - Here is how it works When an investigating officer identifies an incident where someone may have illegally bought or been served an alcoholic beverage by a licensed establishment, California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is notified and they can conduct a simultaneous investigation. During the investigation Information may be obtained establishing that alcohol was illegally provided to a person under 21. Under TRACE, investigating officers will pursue a line of questioning to identify where the alcoholic beverages were purchased or served. Evidence collected may include false identification, receipts, bags, labels, matches and statements of witnesses. If ABC determines that a liquor outlet illegally provided alcohol to an individual under 21, the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control will suspend or revoke the liquor license of that business. Protocol for TRACE was developed by ABC, California Attorney General’s Office, Office of Traffic Safety, California Highway Patrol, California Police Chiefs' Association, California State Sheriff’s Association, Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Lynne Goodwin.
