Center For Alcohol Policy

The Center works to educate regulators, policy makers, and the public about alcohol, its unique attributes, and the role of alcohol regulation. The Center conducts a national survey to learn about American adults' attitudes on alcohol regulation across the country and facilitates research reports focusing on the historical importance and the current enforcement of state alcohol regulations and federal alcohol laws. Each year, the Center sponsors a national essay contest to foster debate, analysis, and examination of state based alcohol regulation. The Center also continues to print copies of Toward Liquor Control, a book which offers historical perspective of today's regulatory structure of the American alcohol system.
