Various institutions in Wolfsburg deal with the issue of alcohol. The city and the police also deal with this issue as part of their crime prevention work. A particular focus is on alcohol abuse among children and young people. Various measures have already been initiated in this regard:

• Regular checks by the Streetlife team in the city area.
• Increased checks by Streetlife and the police in the Allerpark recreation area during the summer months.
• Alcohol test purchases from Wolfsburg retailers
• Project "When your child sees everything foggy!" . Invitation of children caught drinking alcohol with their parents to a counseling session at the city's educational counseling center (possibility of reimbursement of transportation costs)
• Reporting to the driver's license office if children/adolescents have been caught drinking alcohol several times or have a high alcohol level that suggests they already have an alcohol problem.

Three years ago, a network was formed that meets once a year to exchange experiences on alcohol abuse among children and adolescents and to work out solutions.
