Sticker Shock

Sticker Shock is a P-CASA initiative that uses visually engaging warning labels (stickers) to inform the public about the consequences of providing alcohol to minors. These stickers boldly highlight the fact that anyone who provides/purchases alcohol for someone under 21 years old can be fined up to $1,000 and spend up to 6 months in jail.

To maximize their impact, the stickers are strategically placed in the windows of stores where alcohol is sold, and can also be stuck on containers that hold alcohol. The messages appear in both English and Spanish to best meet the needs of Paterson’s diverse community.
