A program called "0-0-1-3" is an alcohol-abuse prevention program that promotes making responsible choices with regard to alcohol use. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming developed the 0-0-1-3 program in 2004. The numbers 0-0-1-3 stand for: (1) 0 - zero drinks, if you're under the age of 21; (2) 0 - zero DUIs (driving while under the influence); (3) 1 - one drink per hour (amount of alcohol that the liver can process in one hour); and (4) 3 - no more than three drinks of alcohol per outing. 0-0-1-3 is based on science and is defined as "responsible, periodic drinking" by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Academy of Sciences.
