Marcus' Official Stance on Alcohol

I had a recent inquiry as to my official stance on alcohol. This question came from a youth substance abuse prevention organization, not from an individual who was just curious. I figured this is something I should share because, frankly, it's the stance I believe most people should also have.

Alcohol is illegal for all American civilians under 21 years of age. I obey all the laws of this country. Therefore, when I speak to audiences who are minors, I do not and cannot and will not approve of the consumption of alcohol for those in the audience.

If a person is of legal drinking age, I believe in moderation, safety and responsibility if they choose to drink alcohol. If driving is involved, this becomes even more important.

That's my official stance on alcohol. The laws are what they are and I'm a law-abiding American citizen.

If there are clients or individuals with further questions, feel free to ask! Happy to share my thoughts, but rest assured my personal philosophies will always be in lock step with the laws of this country.
