About Be WISE

The International Institute for Alcohol Awareness (IIAA) is delighted to provide you with this Be WISE tool kit and web site. Be WISE is a multi-faceted program focused on preventing and reducing underage and problem drinking on college campuses. It requires university officials, law enforcement, local government officials, beverage alcohol retailers and others to act in partnership to reduce underage and problem drinking and create a healthy learning environment in which students will excel.

Underage and problem drinking on campus and in the community surrounding a university is a complicated, multi-faceted issue. There is no single response or strategy that will erase or prevent the potential negative consequences of underage and problem drinking. It is through new and innovative partnerships committed to working together, investing in success, saving lives and enforcing the law, that a "safer environment" may be developed. Working together with a common goal of decreasing underage and problem drinking these target populations have the combined knowledge, skills and resources to create change.
