07/27/2011 - The Real Undercover Boss - How Plaid Pantry CEO Chris Girard is Keeping Alcohol Out of the Hands of Youth - According to the U.S. Department of Transportation (2005) three teens die from drinking and driving daily.

In Clackamas County, one in four 8th-graders and nearly 40 percent of 11th-graders reported drinking within the last 30 days. Fortunately, there are a host of local agencies working to reduce and prevent underage drinking altogether. One of the most important, yet unrecognized pieces of the prevention effort is enforcement. Each year Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) and local police departments conduct alcohol compliance details in an effort to reduce underage drinking.
