VA-Editorial: As access to alcohol evolves, there’s an even greater need to balance business and public safety The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Authority has been at the forefront of navigating these pandemic-era adjustments. As access to alcohol evolves, there’s an even greater need to balance business and public safety. Roughly one week after the governor’s executive order, ABC made several tweaks to its “business practices” to meet the needs of customers and partners. The changes were sweeping. Establishments like restaurants or breweries that previously served alcohol on their premises were able to sell wine or beer in sealed containers for curbside pickup or for delivery. Third-party delivery services like UberEats, GrubHub, Postmates and DoorDash also were able to enter the market. “It’s changed a lot for enforcement,” ABC Bureau of Law Enforcement Chief Thomas Kirby told RTD Opinions in an interview earlier this month. Link to Article FL-Sales Clerk Arrested For Illegal Alcohol Sale On Thursday, July 22, 2021, deputies from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office checked fifteen convenience stores in the Lakeland and Mulberry areas, as part of the Operation: Pop-Top effort. They were making sure stores were abiding State law by not selling alcohol to anyone under 21-years of age. Of those fifteen stores, one was not in compliance and the store clerk who made the illegal sale was arrested. 24-year old Nakia Guinyard of Mulberry was charged with Selling Alcohol to a Person Under 21, a misdemeanor. Link to Article AL-Two injured, charged with underage alcohol possession after Lake Martin boat crash Two people were injured and charged with underage alcohol possession after a boat crash on Lake Martin Saturday night, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. ALEA officials said the 20-year-old was charged with Boating Under the Influence and Minor in Possession of Alcoholic Beverages. The 19-year-old was charged with Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the fourth-degree and Minor in Possession of Alcoholic Beverages. ALEA officials said three people were on the boat at the time of the crash and that the incident is under investigation. Link to Article IA-Law Enforcement Check Sunday Of Bars In Arnolds Park For Underage Drinking Lands 21 People In Jail A bar check operation conducted Sunday by the Arnolds Park Police Department looking for persons under the age of 21 consuming alcohol resulted in the arrests of 21 people. A press release from the Arnolds Park Police Department says the charges include public intoxication, possession of alcohol under the legal age and misuse of a driver's license to acquire alcohol. Link to Article It’s Time to Allow Bourbon in Our Mailboxes While the pandemic has led to a wave of reforms that allow local restaurants, grocery stores, and alcohol producers to hand-deliver products to our homes, shipping beer or liquor in the mail remains nearly impossible. The United States Postal Service entirely forbids the shipment of alcohol through its channels, and barely a dozen states allow the mailing of liquor or beer. Unsurprisingly, consumers are becoming increasingly vocal about their support for alcohol shipping. The Distilled Spirits Council just released a survey indicating that 80 percent of Americans think distillers should be permitted to ship liquor to consumers’ doorsteps. Link to Article Is the alcohol industry placing profits before teens’ future prospects? In the first study of its kind in nearly two decades in the US, we combined existing survey and industry data to estimate how much alcohol underage youth drink and the revenues from these drinks that accrue to the industry. The survey data we used asked 1,000+ underage drinkers about 898 branded products. Rather than the usual “beer, wine, or spirits” estimates, these unique data allowed us to estimate market share at the company and product level. When combined with prices, we could estimate industry revenues from underage drinking. We found youth under the legal drinking age (21 years) drank 11.4 billion alcoholic drinks in 2016. The tab from this alcohol was also sizable at $17.5 billion, 7.4% of the revenues that year. Link to Article Washington Regulators Issue Position on Hemp-Derived Cannabinoids The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) has issued an interpretive statement regarding the conversion of hemp-derived CBD into delta-9 THC by licensed adult-use cannabis processors, according to the Cannabis Observer. The statement, which was drafted by WSLCB staff in consultation with council from the Washington State Attorney General’s office, hinges on the safe harbor doctrine, the legal term describing the practice of allowing for the production and distribution of a federally prohibited controlled substance (cannabis). The statement says under state law only licensed cannabis producers, or growers, are granted safe harbor for creating Delta-9 THC, not cannabis processors. “The statutes do not authorize a licensed processor to source hemp-based product, such as legal CBD, and convert it to delta-9 THC, regardless of the method of production, nor are they licensed to process hemp into marijuana concentrate,” the agency said in the statement. “As ‘conversion’ activity is not an identified privilege, it would not fall under the safe harbor protections.” Justin Nordhorn, director of policy and external affairs at the WSLCB, confirmed that processors are “not afforded safe harbor for the activities of creating delta-9-THC.” Link to Article Michigan to Regulate Delta-8 THC Products With New Legislation Starting in October, delta-8 THC products will be covered by Michigan law and regulated by the state's Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA). On July 13, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed the legislation regulating the delta-8 derivate. The new legislation — which applies to products currently sold in convenience stores, gas stations and tobacco outlets — kicks in Oct. 11. Link to Article Q2 Beer Industry Review Recap The summer is in full swing and so are beer sales across the country! To find out where we stand halfway through the year, Fintech’s Director of Distributor Accounts, Jim Kallies, reviewed beer industry data with Lester Jones, Chief Economist with the National Beer Wholesalers Association, for our quarterly Beer Industry Review webinar. By exploring Fintech data, which represents the aggregation of beer, wine, and spirits data exchanged through over 700,000 connections between retailers to distributors and self- distributing suppliers in the United States, we found that so far in 2021, weekly case volumes covered by Fintech data are up 9% over the same time period in 2020 and are on track to pace (and maybe even beat) 2019 pre-pandemic volumes. This increase means that the sample of data used in our analysis is growing every day as more and more invoices are processed for payment through Fintech (not necessarily that the market as a whole is up 9%). For this quarter, we dug into second-quarter beer brand performance, the on- premise return to power, segment growth, and the largest story of Q2, seltzer’s continued growth and expansion.

    bs_bs_banner REVIEW Drug and Alcohol Review (2015) DOI: 10.1111/dar.12356 Phenibut (4-amino-3-phenyl-butyric acid): Availability, prevalence of use, desired effects and acute toxicity DAVID R. OWEN1,DAVIDM.WOOD2,3,JOHNR.H.ARCHER2 & PAUL I. DARGAN2,3 1Division of Brain Sciences, Imperial College London, London, UK, 2Clinical Toxicology, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s Health Partners, London, UK, and 3Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, King’sCollege London, London, UK Abstract Introduction and Aims. There has been a global increase in the availability and use of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) over the last decade. Phenibut (β-phenyl-γ-aminobutyric acid) is a GABAB agonist that is used as an NPS. Here, we bring together published scientific and grey information sources to further understand the prevalence of use, desired effects and acute toxicity of phenibut. Design and Methods. Using European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction Internet snapshot method- ology, we undertook an English language Internet snapshot survey in May 2015 to gather information on the availability and price of phenibut from Internet NPS retailers. To gather information on prevalence of use, desired effects and/or adverse effects, we searched grey literature (online drug discussion forums) and medical literature (PubMed and abstracts from selected International Toxicology conferences). Results. We found 48 unrelated Internet suppliers selling phenibut in amounts ranging from 5 g (US$1.60, £1.01/g) to 1000 kg (US$0.23, £0.14/g). Capsules containing 200–500 mg of phenibut were available in packs of between 6 (US$4.45, £2.80/g) and 360 (US$0.43, £0.27/g).
