To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Gillian Liddicoat and I am currently a freshman at Eckerd College in Saint Petersburg, Florida. As a teenager, I have seen and heard of my peers being harmed or injured due to the effects of alcohol on the mind, body, and soul.
It is quite unfortunate to hear of my friends and fellow students drinking and driving because it hurts to know that they are putting their lives into jeopardy. I commend the efforts made by the International Institute for Alcohol Awareness because young adults need to realize the harm that they are causing to themselves and to their country.
The congressional section of the International Institute for Alcohol Awareness’ website is an informative lesson for young adults. They must realize that the United States Congress plans to put an end to drinking and driving and consequences for the crime will not be merciful. I believe that the U.S. law enforcement has not been as strong as it needs to be to end impaired driving under the influence of alcohol.
The IIAA has worked extremely hard to inform American citizens of the economic, political, and social malevolencies due to drinking and driving. I thank you graciously for your efforts and please continue to persuade Americans to abide by the law and to stray away for alcohol abuse.

Sincerely,

Gillian Liddicoat
