Pernod Ricard USA and Southern Wine & Spirits of America, Inc. completed a national effort on May 6 to promote retailer engagement with The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility (Responsibility.org). The foundation is national not-for-profit funded by distillers, with a mission to eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking while promoting responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol.

Pernod Ricard USA’s full salesforce joined with more than 1,000 Southern salespeople to distribute information to retail accounts — which can be shared with consumers — about key Responsibility.org programs, including helpful tips on how to be a responsible host during the occasion-filled summer months. The team covered thousands of stores nation-wide.
