We oppose weakening the control of alcohol in Alabama, a move that would lead to more consumption, more underage drinking, more drunk driving, and more lives lost.
Why is this important?
Some lawmakers are pushing legislation to force the Alabama ABC Board to give up control of its well-run liquor stores, opening the store for out-of-state corporations to come in and expand liquor sales in Alabama.
Studies consistently show that states like Alabama with strong alcohol controls experience less problems associated with alcohol abuse, such as drunkenness and underage drinking.
Control works. Keep Alabama in control.
