Control State Politics
New Report on Big Alcohol's Push for Privatization

 

Liquor store shelvesAlcohol Justice (formerly Marin Institute) has published a new report describing one of the biggest threats to state-based alcohol regulation: Big Alcohol's efforts to privatize sales in control states. The report chronicles the likely outcomes to states that turn over alcohol sales to private businesses. These states may experience a short-term cash windfall, but loss of reliable income, coupled with increases in alcohol-related harm, will damage economic stability and public health in the longer term.
