Big Alcohol Tearing Down California's Alcohol Regulations

Sacramento Bee (Press Release)

Alcohol Justice released a new report today illustrating the effectiveness of Big Alcohol lobbying on California state government at the end of the 2011-2012 legislative session. "Our legislature continues to pander to the well-healed interests of Big Alcohol at the public's expense," stated Bruce Lee Livingston, Executive Director/CEO of Alcohol Justice. "What they conveniently failed to see in 2012 is that incremental alcohol deregulation increases alcohol-related harm and cost in the state." Alcohol Justice has estimated that $9 billion of the state's $38.4 billion in annual alcohol-related harm is paid for by taxpayers.
