Part # 2 of our 2 part interview with Dr. Kathleen Burke. We continue our discussion on how substance use disorder is an evil foe not to be taken lightly. How many potentially great people have we lost to this insidious enemy? Will compassionate care lead us out of the darkness? Dr. Burke argues that Science is our best tool in this difficult battle to save lives.

In this episode, six young teens share their thoughts about underage drinking. It should come as no surprise to anyone listening; access to alcohol for our teens is as easy as one - two -three. "If They Can't Buy It, Don't Supply It". Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same.
