Teen’s alcohol fair warns others of drinking dangers

BRIDGEWATER — Sam Hofer is only 17, but she’s already seen firsthand the problems than can come with alcohol abuse.
“I have a friend who had horrible drinking problems. I’ve seen what my friend had to go through,” Hofer said. “It just inspired me to inform other students on how bad it can be.”
It was that inspiration that led Hofer, of Bridgewater, to host an Alcohol Awareness Fair designed to deter teenagers from consuming alcohol or driving under the influence.
