Abstract:

On September 1, 1986, a new law raised the legal age for purchasing beer in North Carolina to 21. Beer distributors, retailers, restaurateurs, and tavern owners comment on how the new law is affecting their businesses. Statistically North Carolina is not a big beer drinking state, with about fifty-five million cases sold in 1985. On a per capita beer consumption ranking by state, North Carolina is seventh from the bottom with 19.2 gallons per person.
