This Labor Day, let's celebrate responsibly.
To commemorate the holiday Jackson State University's Interdisciplinary Alcohol and Drug Studies Center (IADSC) collaborated with Madison County Sheriff Department and we are encouraging everyone to make smart choices behind the wheel.

Impaired driving changes lives in an instant—yours and others. If you plan to celebrate, plan ahead:
✔️ Designate a sober driver
✔️ Use a rideshare
✔️ Stay where you are

Having fun and staying safe go hand in hand. Let’s make sure everyone makes it home alive.

Every Ride…. Every Time…. Buckle Up ✅😎

🚕 Call a taxi
🚙 Have a sober friend drive you home

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

This week, we hosted an impaired driving prevention booth during the lunch periods at West Harrison High School. Students had the opportunity to experience both “drunk and Opioid goggles,” which simulate the visual and coordination impairments caused by alcohol and opioid overdose. This hands-on activity helped them better understand how substance use affects reaction time, depth perception, and overall driving ability.

In addition to the interactive demonstration, we provided a wide range of educational materials about the risks and consequences of alcohol- and drug-impaired driving. Our goal was to give students meaningful, real-world insight into the dangers of driving under the influence and empower them to make safe, responsible decisions behind the wheel.
