Imagine a family gathering where alcohol is easily accessible to everyone, including teenagers. This scenario can lead to unforeseen consequences, especially for those vulnerable to addiction. In this episode of 'Here To Help', host Jay Bookstown chats with Isha Porter, the school's chancellor, about the crucial need to lock up alcohol during events and at home. Porter passionately explains that responsible drinking is vital for health, spiritual well-being, and community harmony.

She emphasizes that safeguarding alcohol is not just about preventing underage drinking but also about curbing the potential for addiction among adults. The conversation delves into how the Torah guides moderate drinking and the pivotal role of addiction therapists in offering support.

Porter urges listeners to be vigilant, saying, 'Let's all remember that it is so important to lock up the alcohol, whether it's in your shul, at your weddings, in your events, at your Shabbos table please.'
