CT-Police: Alcohol compliance check in Bridgeport leads to 3.5 pound cocaine seizure A city man was charged last week after a routine alcohol compliance check led to the discovery of more than 3 pounds of cocaine, officials said. Michael Vegas was charged with operating a drug factory, illegal possession of explosives, and possession with intent to sell over 1/2 ounce of cocaine, among other charges, Bridgeport police say. Bridgeport Police Tactical Narcotics Team, in a joint operation with the State Liquor Commission, conducted spot checks Wednesday at stores permitted to sell beer and liquor that were suspected of selling alcohol to minors, police said. Link to Article ND-‘Ah, so happy’: Residents react a week after controversial nightclub’s liquor license suspension The city commissioners made the decision to suspend the club’s liquor license after reports from the Fargo Police Dept. and a recommendation from the liquor control board. According to Commissioner Tony Gehrig, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Internal Revenue Service may be investigating the nightclub. “The city of Fargo pulling their liquor license is the least of their problems with this nightclub. They’re going to have the ATF, they’re going to have the FBI, they’re going to have the IRS looking into them due to all the problems that were going on in that business.” said Gehrig. Recent reports from law enforcement showed rampant problems for the club that has been embroiled in controversy. From firearms being stored in fridges to paying people under the table and even most recently, a homicide investigation that opened on May 23. Link to Article District Court Issues Rash Decision. Rules for State of North Carolina and Dismisses Out of State Retailer’s Dormant Commerce Clause Complaint Pardon the pun but the lawsuit brought by Mike Rash, B-21 Wines, et. al has been dismissed by the district court so I will call it the Rash decision. United States District Judge Frank Whitney of the Western District of North Carolina has granted the state of North Carolina’s motion to dismiss the effort of the plaintiffs to be able to ship wine from retailers directly to North Carolinians. Judge Whitney noted that the attempts to claim constitutional protection for out of state retailers like out of state supplier jurisprudence is ill founded. He noted, “Wineries are producers; they are the first tier in a three-tier system and are meaningfully distinct from retailers, the third tier... Allowing producers to circumvent the three-tier system does not undermine the system in the same way allowing retailers to circumvent the system would.“ Link to Article NC-Investigation into crash that killed 2 teens leads to charges against house party hosts Two adults accused of giving alcohol to teenagers have been criminally charged after a wreck that left two teens dead and two more seriously injured, the N.C. Department of Public Safety said in a news release. An investigation by the Alcohol Law Enforcement led to Stevens being additionally charged with underage possession of alcohol and possession of fraudulent identification. Through the ALE's investigation, authorities learned that the four teenagers used fake IDs to buy and drink alcohol at an Oak Ridge restaurant on June 25. Earlier in the night, they also drank alcohol at a house party on Leadenhall Road, according to the N.C. DPS. Link to Article WATCH NOW: Mayo expert discusses dangers of teen drinking, prevention tips For some teens, summer means less time under supervision, more parties and, especially after months of limited interactions due to the pandemic, a time for carefree socialization. Teenage drinking is far from a new issue, but studies show even stay at home restrictions, which likely affected the ability for underage persons to obtain alcohol, did not curb consumption for those under 21. And with the reopening of establishments and resurgence of gatherings, access to beer, wine and liquor will become easier. Link to Article TTB tips for labeling, advertising alcohol beverage calories, carbs and sugar content Flying Embers sent us some tasty hard kombuchas the other day (along with some seltzer). This came after receiving some non-alcohol IPAs from Oregon-based Crux Fermentation and some hop-infused water from Hoplark. While I am mourning the days of getting actual beer sent to our doorstep, these flavored alcohol and near-beer innovations are winning me over. They aren’t replacing my desire for a beer, but they are carving out their own niches. Their most powerful lesson, though, is a reminder that labeling matters. Link to Article North Carolina & Juul Reach $40M Settlement Over Youth Marketing Claims North Carolina became the first state to reach a settlement with Juul over concerns that its product attracts underage users. Under a consent order reached with State Attorney General Josh Stein, Juul will pay $40 million and make changes to the way it conducts business. The $40 million, which Juul will pay to the state over the next six years, will fund programs to help people quit e-cigarettes, prevent e-cigarette addiction, and research e-cigarettes. "For years, Juul targeted young people, including teens, with its highly addictive e- cigarette. It lit the spark and fanned the flames of a vaping epidemic among our children — one that you can see in any high school in North Carolina," Stein said in a statement. The state will continue to fight the teen vaping epidemic and its efforts to prevent underage nicotine use, he added. Link to Article Map shows which counties are home to the highest number of excessive drinkers in the United States You may have a perception of how much alcohol the people in your community drink, but does it match reality? A new map helps illustrate which counties across the United States are prone to excessive drinking and which states avoid a big bar tab.The data behind the map comes from a County Health Rankings and Roadmaps report produced by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The report is intended to improve health outcomes and close health disparities by bringing awareness to factors that influence health and offer actions on improving community health. Within the report, factors are reviewed, categorized, and used to determine length and quality of life on a state-by-state basis. Among those factors is alcohol and drug use, which is determined based on excessive drinking.

The announcement comes as the company has scaled from roughly 40 brands in January 2020 up to 250 in July of this year. “The speed and momentum Speakeasy Co. has generated over the past year is surreal,” Josh Jacobs, co-founder and CEO, said on Tuesday. “We are humbled by the milestone and grateful for the support of so many throughout this journey, but this is just the beginning for Speakeasy Co.

  • The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS 18 OR 21: THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE MINIMUM LEGAL DRINKING AGE IN THE UNITED STATES ALY G. CROWLEY FALL 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Finance and Economics with honors in Economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Russell Chuderewicz Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor Bee Yan Roberts Professor of Economics Honors Adviser *Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. Abstract This paper will provide an economic analysis of the implications of lowering the minimum legal drinking age from 21 to 18. The minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) has long been a point of contention in American society as both economists and politicians alike vet their ideas for the optimal MLDA. Given the fact that the United States is only one of a few developed nations to enforce a 21 year old MLDA, people who oppose the current system argue that 18 year old MLDA models established in other developed nations, such as those in the European Union (EU) have resulted in better social outcomes, such as lower levels of excessive or “binge” drinking. Another point of debate surrounds externalities, or the negative costs that one imposes on others through their actions, which include the risk of being exposed to drunk drivers. Furthermore, since the minimum enlistment age for the U.S. military as well as the legal voting age is 18, those in favor of a lower MLDA argue that our laws should consistently reflect the idea that 18 years old represents the age of adult maturity in the United States.

DESCRIPTORS Academic Standards; *Government Role; *Laws; National Standards; Primary Sources; Secondary Education; Social Studies; *United States History IDENTIFIERS Congress; *Eighteenth Amendment; National Civics and Government Standards; National History Standards; *United States Constitution ABSTRACT In 1917, after much agitation for alcohol prohibition by many temperance societies and organizations, the House of Representatives wanted to make Prohibition the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and sent the amendment to the states for ratification. Thirteen months later enough states said yes to the amendment. It was now against the law to manufacture, sell, and transport alcoholic liquors. In this lesson, students examine primary source documents to find out why the "great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far reaching in purpose" as Herbert Hoover called it, did not work. They also identify the changing values and cultural pressures at the beginning of the 20th century. The lesson relates to the power of Congress to amend the Constitution as specified in Article V, and also relates to Amendment 18, which banned alcohol, and to Amendment 21 which repealed national Prohibition.

  • A Brief Review of Alcoholic Beverages in Kansas Part 1
    A Brief Review of Alcoholic Beverages in Kansas Part 1 - The Years Before Legalization Part 2 - The Early Years Part 3 - The Mid 60s through the Mid 80s Part 4 - The Mid 80s to the Present Part 1 - The Years Before Legalization The history of alcoholic beverage in Kansas is quite intriguing and probably a good place to start in supporting this publication with periodic articles. Let's start in November of 1880. During that year, voters in the state adopted an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors, becoming the first state to do so. Although Kansas was officially "dry", the state was quite "wet" as the illegal trade of alcoholic beverages continued unabated. Enforcement was lacking and literally hundreds if not thousands of illegal liquor establishments flourished. In 1900, Cary Nation begins "hatcheting" illegal liquor joints and campaigns for stricter enforcement with little success. The state attorney General cracked down on illegal joints in 1907 and by 1910 there were only three counties where open saloons were in operation. Sales of liquor for medicinal purposes was prohibited in 1909. This era of strict enforcement did not last long. In 1917, the Legislature passed the "Bone Dry Bill", prohibiting possession of liquor, ending direct shipments to consumers from out-of-state suppliers. This emboldened bootlegging and moonshining. In 1920 the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution became the law of the nation. Now prohibition was nation wide, yet illegal activities continued uninterrupted in Kansas. In 1933 the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was approved and national prohibition was overturned.

As a result U.S. officials blocked the passage of Arcadia into the country. The U.S. Coast Guard observed the boat heading toward U.S. shores from the city of Fort Erie, Ontario, on Saturday, April 4 at 3 p.m. A standstill ensued when the U.S. Coast Guard set up a blockade to force the boat to drop anchor. During the evening of the sixth a thick fog set in over the Niagara River. The Arcadia dimmed its lights and escaped to an undisclosed location.

  • Prohibition in NYC
    The Noble Experiment in New York1 Andrew F. Smith It was snowing in New York City on January 16, 1920, but there was a large crowd outside Gold’s liquor store, at Broadway and Forty-second Street. Gold’s stocked the finest selection of vintage wines, brandies, and spirits in Manhattan—the finest in the world, by some accounts. Gold had removed all his inventory from the shelves and placed the bottles in wicker baskets on the street: Everything was dollar per bottle.1 All over the city New Yorkers were busy drinking their fill; the city’s bars and saloons were full to overflowing. At the stroke of midnight, toasts were raised, and the National Prohibition Act, commonly known as the Volstead Act, went into effect: The manufacture, sale, and importation of alcoholic beverages was now illegal in the United States. Few New Yorkers ever thought Prohibition would become the law of the land, but the movement to abolish alcohol nationwide had been gaining support since the late nineteenth century. Five states had adopted prohibition legislation before 1900, as had many counties and cities. In 1907 Georgia became the first state to enact total prohibition, and five other states followed during the next two years. Some cities and counties in upstate New York supported prohibition, but the people of New York City were strongly opposed to it. Liquor was an important business in the city: An 1897 survey of the borough of Manhattan found a ratio of one liquor distributor to every 208 residents.2 Saloons were also an important base of support for Tammany Hall’s political machine, which had controlled the city government since 1854.

Platt, DNP, WHNP-BC, CRNP, NCMP Assistant Professor University of South Alabama College of Nursing Disclosures ■ No perceived financial, professional, or personal conflicts of interest to disclose. Objectives ■ Recognize how the media has normalized drinking among women of all ages in the United States. ■ Define excessive alcohol intake among women. ■ Recall the health risks associated with excessive alcohol intake for women across the life span. ■ Identify an effective screening tool to identify alcohol misuse and abuse disorders among women. ■ Recognize the importance of both educating women on the risks associated with excessive alcohol intake and intervening when alcohol misuse or abuse disorder is identified. History ■ The Anti-Saloon League (ASL) was founded in 1893 in Oberlin, Ohio ■ ASL 1912 Poster ALCOHOL INFLAMES THE PASSIONS, thus making the temptation to sex-sin unusually strong ALCOHOL DECREASES THE POWER OF CONTROL, thus making the resisting of temptation especially difficult….
