Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Program

 

The EUDL Discretionary Program supports and enhances efforts by States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, in cooperation with local jurisdictions, to prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages to, or consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors. (For the purpose of this solicitation, "minors" are defined as individuals under the age of 21.) Funds will be dispersed to support discretionary program activities in local jurisdictions, as well as training and technical assistance to all States. The local programs implement the comprehensive approach to curtailing access and consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors, including the enforcement of laws pertaining to underage alcohol purchase, possession, and use.
