AG Zoeller And Olympic Skater Urge Kids To Say "No" To Underage Drinking

Staff Report – The StatehouseFile.com

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Olympic figure skater Ashley Wagner are asking children to say “no” to underage drinking in a new public service announcement.

The PSA will begin airing statewide this month and is part of a national awareness campaign called Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don’t Mix. April is Alcohol Awareness Month.

“It is my hope that this message will kick start conversations between parents and children about the dangers of underage drinking,” Zoeller said. “While children look up to professional athletes and others as role models, parents play the biggest role in keeping their child on the right track.”

Children are encouraged to visit asklistenlearn.org to become part of the Ask, Listen, Learn Team by making a pledge to be active for 60 minutes a day and to say “no” to underage drinking.
