The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility works with law enforcement, public officials, educators, parents and students to create programs aimed at reducing the incidents of drunk driving and underage drinking:
Alcohol 101 Plus is an interactive online program which aims to help students make safe and responsible decisions about alcohol on college campuses.
Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix encourages parents to create an ongoing dialogue about the dangers of alcohol with their kids.
B4UDrink Educator aims to educate adults about the influence of alcohol on an individual's Blood Alcohol Concentration level.
Cops in Shops is an alcohol law enforcement program in which undercover police officers work with participating alcoholic beverage retailers with the aim to deter youth under 21 from attempting to purchase alcohol or adults that purchase alcohol for minors.
Girl Talk: Choices and Consequences of Underage Drinking attempts to encourage mothers and daughters to communicate about the dangers of underage drinking and the specific risks facing teenage girls.
We Don't Serve Teens is a public awareness campaign designed to prevent underage drinking by informing adults that providing underage drinkers with alcohol is unsafe, illegal and irresponsible.
In 2008–2009, FAAR sponsored the National Student Advertising Competition held by the American Advertising Federation. Over 140 college teams from across the country competed to create a campaign aimed at reducing binge drinking among college students. The winning campaign was from Syracuse University. Responsibility.org launched Think Responsibly, a campaign directed to millennial adults of legal purchase age who choose to drink, in partnership with Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America and the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States at the wholesalers’ 76th annual convention in Orlando in 2019. As part of the campaign, Think Responsibly ads asked visitors to take a quiz on responsible drinking. The quiz and online messages were measured by a Facebook Brand Lift Survey to determine how well the campaign increases a millennial's intention to drink responsibly. Visuals with strong “calls to action” appealed to the target audience reaching 4.8 million urban millennials on Facebook and Instagram. The brand lift study revealed the ads raised interest in and consideration of Think Responsibly, garnering a 1.3 point lift in ad recall of Responsibility.org among those who saw to the campaign.
