Enforcing the Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Project:
To address the growing cost to society associated with underage drinking, Congress appropriated
funds to the Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to
fund the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Program. The program provides funding,
training, and technical assistance to states in an effort to help develop comprehensive and
coordinated initiatives to enforce underage drinking laws that:
The Nevada EUDL Project, Stand Tall, Don’t Fall: United Against Underage Drinking is engaged in
the following:
The Nevada EUDL program is funded through the State Department of Health and Human Services’
Division of Child and Family Services, Juvenile Programs Office.
“Underage drinking can not be successfully addressed by focusing on youth alone. Youth drink within the context of a society in
