New campaign aimed at underage drinking

By
SAVANNAH - Too young to remember who shot J.R.? <br> <br> Then you&#39;re probably too young to drink, according to a distilling-industry campaign aimed at underage drinking. <br> <br> Thursday, The Century Council -- along with law enforcement officials and retailers -- launched the campaign in Savannah at a local liquor store. <br> <br> Officials are hoping the use of dry humor and a twist of pop culture will get the message across. The campaign features popular movies, songs and trends from the 1980s. <br> <br> The Century Council is a Washington-based nonprofit organization funded by the country&#39;s leading beverage distillers. For nearly two years, the council&#39;s campaign has been introduced in 48 cities. <br> <br> For those under 21, the message is: Don&#39;t buy alcohol. For retailers, it&#39;s: Don&#39;t sell to minors. <br> <br> J.R. Ewing was shot on the popular 80s-television show, &#39;Dallas.&#39;
