Ventura County Limits is a Community Partnership dedicated to changing local patterns of alcohol abuse among young people, and the many community problems that result. Our goal: To improve the quality of life for all who live, work and play in Ventura County, through responsible alcohol policies and practices.
 
This project, funded by the State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, is focused on changing the conditions and settings that lead to the most costly and damaging problems associated with underage and binge drinking. Launched in 2004, the Partnership is a forum for learning and sharing effective community alcohol management strategies. These include local ordinances that deter unruly parties (Social Host laws), municipal tools for setting local retailer standards and enforcing them (Problem Bars ), and a wide range of agency and institutional policies, including those of local colleges and universities, to limit alcohol-related harms.
