PROGRAMS

AWARE

AWARE, or the Alliance for Worldwide Alcohol Research and Education, is a non-profit founded and funded by Spirit Sciences. AWARE’s mandate is to increase awareness of alcohol issues and to facilitate a reduction in alcohol-related harm in global society.

Stop DWH: Stop Driving While Hungover

Stop DWH is the first public awareness campaign of its kind, designed to raise awareness of the risky behavior of driving while hungover. We as a society are well aware that DUI is a serious problem, and a violent crime. However, little attention has been paid to social behaviors the day after -- even though studies have shown that it can take as much as 24 hours the after the consumption of alcohol before the full effects of impairment have subsided!

The goal of Stop DWH is to reduce the number of alcohol-related automobile crashes by generating and disseminating research-based information concerning post-intoxication effects of alcohol on driving ability. Stop DWH will feature a website, public awareness campaign, and sponsored events to bring attention to DWH. The program also seeks to enable individuals and organizations to effectively address all DUI issues, including those related to the post-intoxication effects of alcohol.

EARTHDANCE

Spirit Sciences is proud to sponsor Earthdance and the United Beats of Peace tour. Spirit Sciences endorses Earthdance’s efforts toward global peace, and supports the Earthdance International organization.
