Local Teen Allegedly Strips for Booze in New Jersey

News came recently that a south New Jersey bar had allegedly hired a local 17-year-old cheerleader to strip for them—and paid her in alcohol. Apparently the bartender would serve her many drinks over the course of an evening to “loosen her up” for the strip-tease. As punishment, the bartender and owner have both been charged with serving alcohol to minors, while the girl herself (and two of her friends) have been charged with underage drinking. The bar itself has had its liquor license suspended for 50 days.

Statistics show that the earlier a person begins their problem drinking, the more likely they are to develop alcoholism. That’s why police work so hard to keep teens away from underage drinking. This double-violation is not only illegal, but also puts young people at risk for a lifetime of alcohol abuse. Alcoholism is a serious disease that can seem almost impossible to break free from. The good news is that a good program of treatment can be a very effective remedy.

If you have a problem with alcohol abuse or know someone who does, you can seek help now for yourself or your loved one. Thankfully, there is good help available. Detoxification and behavioral therapy have proven to be effective in treating alcohol dependence. Addicts are often unable to complete treatment on their own or with family members, so it’s very important to seek the right treatment center.
