BAY COUNTY, MI - In 2019 and 2020, a larger portion of high school students were drinking alcohol in Bay County than anywhere else in Michigan, according to a presentation from a collective of local stakeholders.
Armed with some sobering data pulled from Michigan Profile for Health surveys of high school students, the Bay County Prevention Network held a Zoom discussion on the county’s underage drinking trends Tuesday, bringing together a group that included local health and services officials as well as Bay City Mayor Kathleen Newsham. The network is a group of county individuals and organizations working together to create an environment where substance abuse “is not the norm,” said coordinator Barry Schmidt.
