EnglishWhat is Responsibility.org?
Updated
Responsibility.org is the website of the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a nonprofit that describes its mission as eliminating underage drinking, eliminating drunk and impaired driving, and empowering adults to make responsible alcohol choices. It is an informational and educational resource rather than a service you sign up for or buy from. It is most useful if you are a parent, educator, policymaker, or adult drinker looking for statistics, conversation guides, and prevention resources.
What the organization says it does
The site frames its work around three goals:
- Eliminate underage drinking — including a high-school prevention program called Responsible Teens.
- Eliminate drunk and impaired driving — the area it says it has worked on for more than 33 years.
- Promote responsible drinking among adults — including knowing your personal limits and hosting responsibly.
It states that its "passion, experience and proven solutions" come from more than 33 years of leadership in the fight against drunk driving and underage drinking.
Who the content is for
The site organizes resources by audience, and its email preference form lists these categories:
| Audience | What they offer |
|---|---|
| Parents | Guidance on talking to teens about alcohol, peer pressure, and staying safe |
| Responsible drinkers | Information on limits, BAC levels, and responsible hosting |
| Policymakers | Resources tied to alcohol policy |
| Educators | Classroom and prevention material |
| Responsible teens | The Responsible Teens underage drinking prevention program for high school students |
There are also categories for judges and practitioners in the email preference options.

Is it worth browsing?
Yes, if you want a single place to pull alcohol-related statistics, find a script for a conversation with a teenager, or look up BAC and responsible-hosting basics. The site is free to read and offers an optional email community with preferences by role. It is not a treatment provider, a legal resource, or a place to get personalized medical advice — for those needs, use the mental health and substance abuse resource links it points to or a qualified professional.
