Teens Slap Warning Labels On Alcohol
As prom season approaches, stickers remind shoppers not to buy for those under 21 or use a fake ID.
For once, it was okay for teens to enter a liquor store.
As Niles Police Chief Dean Strzelecki and Sgt. Robert Tornabene stood by, five students from Notre Dame College Prep, a Catholic boys' high school in Niles, put yellow stickers onto cases of beer at Cardinal Liquors, 7780 N. Milwaukee Ave., Niles.
The stickers warned shoppers not to buy alcohol for people under 21 and not to use fake IDs to purchase alcohol.
