Since its establishment, the Teen Rescue Foundation has been on the front line when it comes to discouraging and reducing damaging alcohol use amongst teens. Every week, one young Australian between the ages of 14 to 17 dies due to alcohol abuse. In the past two decades, alcohol consumption at dangerous levels has doubled amongst 12 to 17-year-olds.

It’s not all bad news, though. Research shows that, in recent years, the statistics are improving, demonstrating that initiatives like the Teen Rescue Foundation are working. With early advice and intervention, it is hoped that young generations can be the movers and shakers that revolutionise ingrained and unsafe drinking behaviours of our culture.

‘Working in the wine business and having a 20-year-old son and two teenage girls, the work of the Teen Rescue Foundation is very personal to me,’ says Langton’s Head of Auctions Tamara Grischy. ‘Wine can be enjoyable if consumed responsibly. As a family, we have actively educated our children about healthy habits when it comes to alcohol. It’s an important and ongoing journey as our children grow. We are so pleased to be able to support the Teen Rescue Foundation, as their work is critical in educating teenagers about the harmful effects of alcohol.’
