  • Analysis: the 2013 Amendments to South Carolina Code Sections 61-2-180 and 61-4-580 Do Not Substantively Change the Law, Th
    ALAN WILSON ATTORNEY GENERAL June 14, 2013 The Honorable Barry J. Barnette Solicitor, Seventh Judicial Circuit 180 Magnolia Street Spa1tanburg, South Carolina 29306 Dear Solicitor Barnette: Attorney General Alan Wilson has referred your letter of March 27, 2013 to the Opinions section for a response. The following is our understanding of your question presented and the opinion of this Office concerning the issue based on that understanding. Issues: Do the 2013 amendments to Sections 61-2-180 and 61-4-580 of the South Carolina Code of Laws mean: I) Any place licensed to serve alcohol may now have bingo, casino nights and poker nights as long as they are for a charitable purpose? 2) May holders of beer and wine permits have game promotions including contests, games of chance, or sweepstakes in which the elements of chance and prize are present and which comply w ith specified requirements contained in subsection 3 [of S.C. Code Section 61-4-580] as long as the game or sweepstakes does not use a '"poker machine?" Law/Analysis: The 2013 amendments to South Carolina Code Sections 61-2-180 and 61-4-580 do not substantively change the law, they merely clarified existing South Carolina law, indicating that Sections 61-2-180 and 61-4-580 are not exceptions or limitations to Section 12-21-2710 (or other sections of the law concerning gambling or games of chance). Our position, which is consistent with the jurisprudence in this State, is that South Carolina law was clear and unambiguous before this amendment. Therefore, the same principles that applied under the law before the amendment apply after it.1 As a background regarding statutory interpretation, the cardinal ru le of statutory construction is to ascertain the intent of the legislature and to accomplish that intent.

    FIRST SECTION Experiences of the Lahti project Marja Holmila Introduction The Lahti Project is a multi component community action programme aimed at the prevention of alcohol related harms. The project site is the city of Lahti in Finland. The project relies to a great extent on the work of local professionals. It includes work in developing local alcohol policy discussion, education and information, health care intervention for heavy drinkers, youth work, support for family members and server training. Formative, process and outcome evaluation research are being conducted in order to assess the impact of the project (Holmila 1992; 1995). The programme is an experimental one, and its purpose is to obtain information about the feasibility and possibilities of local prevention. For that reason research has an important role in the project. The programme started during the autumn of 1992, and was mostly finished by the end of 1994, even if some parts are still being continued. The final report is currently being written, and will contain description of the processes, research results of the community's life- styles, responses to alcohol use and evaluation of the project (Holmila 1996). This paper will not be a comprehensive presentation of the Lahti project. The paper gives a short summary of the project’s main features, and discusses in more detail some issues related to the process of working and the relations between research and action. Starting the project The initiative to start Lahti project came from several sources simultaneously. When the wish to start such action had developed independently both in the city of Lahti, among alcohol educators and among researchers, the project began without difficulties.

  • Why Educational Strategies Are Ineffective
    Why Educational Strategies are Ineffective Research has shown that educational interventions such as school-based programs, counter- advertisements, and warning labels simply do not work.1, 2, 3 These methods do not reduce consumption or alcohol-related harm, nor do they change drinking behavior among youth. Moreover, many programs have not been studied for their effectiveness. School-based Education • Although school-based alcohol education can increase knowledge about alcohol and improve attitudes in the short run, there is no sustained effect on behavior and no reduction in consumption or alcohol-related harm among youth.4 Social Marketing • A systematic review of 15 social marketing programs noted 8 of 13 programs had some significant effects on alcohol use in the short term (up to 12 months), while 2 of 4 programs had some effect over 2 years.5 Long-term reviews, however, concluded that social marketing programs are ineffective overall.4 Public Information Campaigns • Little scientific evidence exists to show that public information campaigns are effective.1 Because high quality pro-drinking messages appear far more frequently as paid advertisements in the mass media, public service announcements are usually ineffective in reducing alcohol-related harm.2 Counter-advertising • Counter-ads against alcohol are infrequently broadcast, of poorer quality due to lack of funding, and placed at unappealing time slots or on unpopular programming, making them generally ineffective.6 Meanwhile, cable television is now home to 95% of all alcohol ads on national networks.7 Industry-funded Programs • Industry-funded programs such as the “drink responsibly” campaign are ineffective in reducing alcohol-related harm.
