[Prevention] 21 Reasons in the News

[Joanna Morrissey]

One of the advantages of being based in Portland is that the three major
networks have news crews based here, too. So when it was announced
yesterday that Maine's Attorney General Steve Rowe was one of 24 state's
attorneys general to call on MillerCoors to stop expansion of their
'alcopops' energy drink product line, they again called upon 21 Reasons
for story background and an interview:

 

"Maine Asks MillerCoors to pull Energy Drinks

This past spring, Anheuser Busch agreed to pull their 'alcopop' energy
drinks off the market in response to a national effort lead by our own
Attorney General Steve Rowe. MillerCoors latest action not only defies
requests to do the same, but shows their disregard for the prevention
communities concerns by expanding their existing product line.

problem, and what we can do to stop them, visit:
