The Century Council, founded
in May 1991, is a national, not-for-profit organization. It is dedicated
to promoting responsible decision-making about drinking or non-drinking
of beverage alcohol as well as combatting all forms of irresponsible
drinking. Funded by America's leading distillers, the Council primarily
focuses on drunk driving and underage drinking problems--two of the
public's top safety concerns.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., The Century Council has an independent
Advisory Board composed of leaders in the fields of business, government,
academia, medicine and other relevant disciplines
provides guidance on all programs and policies.
The Century Council is based on the philosophy that collective action
can have a greater impact than many individual efforts. Using its resources
as a catalyst for action, the Council involves all three tiers of the
beverage alcohol industry--producers, wholesalers and retailers--with
law enforcement, public officials, educators, insurers, health care professionals
and private citizen organizations in programs to combat alcohol abuse.
