 Washington, Mike Gregoire

WASHINGTON'S FIRST GENTLEMAN
MIKE GREGOIRE

"Childhood drinking is one of the greatest public health problems facing us today. Children who drink alcohol are at risk for a series of health problems.  Some result directly from alcohol’s effect on developing bodies and others, like teen pregnancy and drunk driving crashes, result from impaired judgment and perceptions related to alcohol use.  We can’t afford to look the other way when childhood drinking is causing so much harm."
— Mike Gregoire
