Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility (Responsibility.org), formerly known as the Century Council, is an American not-for-profit organization founded in 1991 and funded by a group of America's leading distillers that aims to eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking and promotes responsible decision-making regarding alcohol use by adults who choose to drink.

The Washington, D.C. based organization has an independent national advisory board with members in the realm of education, medicine, government, business, and other relevant disciplines who assist in the development of programs, initiatives, and policies. The organization is also supported by educational and judicial advisory boards whose members contribute their professional expertise to help shape programming that aligns with their respective fields.

Funding companies include Bacardi, Brown-Forman, Campari Group, Constellation Brands, DIAGEO, Edrington, Hotaling & Co, Mast-Jägermeister US, Moët Hennessy USA, Ole Smoky, LLC, Pernod Ricard, Suntory Global Spirits, and William Grant & Sons.

Responsibility.org’s website includes a map that offers up-to-date state statistics and laws on the topics of underage drinking and drunk and impaired driving in the United States.

The website also includes tips for drinking and hosting responsibly, conversation starters for parents and resources for policymakers that include policy recommendations, and different checklists, including a DUID checklist and another with practical suggestions on how to implement responsible alcohol laws that fit a community.
