Liquid Honesty: the First Amendment Right to Market the Health Benefits of Moderate Alcohol Consumption

LIQUID HONESTY: THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO MARKET THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF MODERATE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION ERIK BIERBAUER* For several years, wine makers have sought to advertise and othenvise promore scientific research showing that moderate drinking can have beneficial health ef- fects. The federal govermnen4 however, has largely blocked the wine makers' ef- forts, contending that advertisementsor labels referringto alcohol'spotential health benefits would almost invariablymislead consuners into discounting alcohol's nu- merous dangers. In this Note, Erik Bierbauerargues that wine makers and other alcoholproducers have a FirstAmendment right to market the health benefits of moderate drinking, as long as they do so accurately and include certain limited disclaimers in theirpromotional materials. INTRODUCTION In February 1999, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF)' allowed vine makers to place two carefully worded state- ments referring to "the health effects of wine consumption" on bottle labels.2 The statements, which suggest but do not explicitly say that drinking wine confers health benefits, were approved by ATF after * I thank the staff of the New York University Law Review for their excellent editing. Thanks also to Professors Burt Neuborne and Jerome Skolnick for their helpful comments at early stages of this Note's development. Thanks as well to Sam Kazman of the Competi- tive Enterprise Institute for sending me filings from CEI's suit against the federal govern- ment. Many thanks to Karin Wolfe for enduring, and even encouraging, this and other law-related obsessions. Finally, thanks to my father, Michael Bierbauer, for suggesting this Note's topic and for teaching me, usually with patience and always with wvit, the value of moderation.
June 2011 Newsletter

JUNE 2011 NEWSLETTER When is a beer a beer? Alcohol definitions are critical de-regulation issues! Do you ever wonder why there are products in a store’s “beer” section that clearly aren’t beer? Do you know why products that amount to 4-5 drinks in a single container are sold in a convenience store? The explanation is usually found in the “definition” section of your state’s alcohol laws. After Prohibition, most states adopted a regulatory system that fostered moderate drinking. One method was to make alcohol products with low alcohol content widely available in grocery stores, but confine other products to more tightly controlled liquor stores. At that time, a low alcohol content product usually meant beer with about 3-4% alcohol. The statutes which say what can be sold where use definitions of beer, wine and spirits for this purpose. Thus, in many states beer, as defined in the statute, But, over the years two things happened. First, the may be sold in grocery and convenience stores and alcohol content of beer crept up. States were asked spirits and sometimes wine, as defined in the to modify their definitions to allow higher alcohol statute, must be confined to a liquor store. The content products.

Great Opportunities for Western Australian Producers

Great Opportunities for Western Australian Producers but Distilleries Forgotten At last some exciting opportunities for producers to increase profits from their cellar door. In the June 2015 budget the State Government decided to scrap the Cellar Door rebate, which we thought did not make sense and could only have a negative impact on the wine industry and the tourism industry. Now at last some common sense is prevailing with some sensible amendments to the Liquor Control Act 1988 (the Act) that will give producers including wineries, breweries and distilleries some new opportunities and bring liquor licensing laws more in line with other states. After over three years of consultation and reviews, the amendments to the Act have finally been introduced into Parliament and the first stage of amendments are expected to come into effect soon. Whilst only a handful of the 141 recommendations directly impact on Licensees of Producer’s Licences, the amendments have the ability to provide substantial benefits to producers and it is important that producers are aware of the proposed changes and are ready to take advantage of the legislative changes as soon as they are implemented. Some of the proposed changes include the following: 1. Collective cellar doors It is proposed that a producer will be able to have a “collective cellar”, that is, share a cellar door outlet with one of more other producers within the same region as their production facilities. This will create good opportunities for producers to share the significant costs of having a cellar door outlet. It will also create some great destination “collective cellar door” outlets that will assist the tourism industry.
