TABC Considerations for Olive Garden Analysis

In 1984 Ronald Reagan proposed a new law that declared that the legal drinking age must raised up to 21 instead of the age of 18. The law was forced upon the states by threatening them by stating that the government will reduce their highway funding until the states passed the law. Of course all the states eventually change their legal drinking age to 21. Some critics believe that this law’s results have been very successful, however the law possesses many insecurities, but certain programs can be arranged to help educate teenagers on alcohol.

Society’s attitude towards the drinking age has been a major controversy in the United States. The attitudes regarding the drinking age have been based off statistics and society’s varying opinion. Alcohol is a toxic depressant that has a damaging effect on the human body. As a result, to prevent excessive alcoholic consumption, the ratification of the 18th amendment took place from 1919 to 1939. This established the Prohibition Act, which banned the transportation, manufacturing and selling of an alcoholic beverage. However, illegal production of alcohol continued to take place in secret. Gradually prohibition laws became difficult to enforce. As a result, the Prohibition Act was repealed in 1933. In 1984, congress mandated a law which would raise the drinking age from 18 to 21 through the National Minimum Drinking Age. Reasoning for mandating an older drinking age, was to enhance public safety and promote good health. In 1988, all 50 states enforced the drinking age to 21. The concern for the consumption of alcohol have targeted teenagers and young adults

drinking laws) target sales of alcohol to minors and public possession of alcohol by minors.

The stakeholder group that will gain most of the benefit from lowering the drinking age to 18 is the alcohol companies. In a sense, the stakeholders between ages 18 and 20 and alcohol companies go hand in hand. Because these young adults are, for the most part, eager to purchase alcohol, the potential skyrocket in sales for that age group would ensure massive profits for alcohol companies. This is made clear considering that underage drinkers in the United States consumed “an estimated 19.7% of the total alcohol consumed”

The drinking age being at 21 causes a lot of 18-20 year olds to drink in unsupervised areas. For example, not letting an 18 year old drink at a bar, restaurant or any public location, means that they

I. Introduction: Starting in 1970 21 states reduced the minimum drinking age to 18. Another 8 reduced it to 19 or 20. However, these states noticed increases in alcohol-related fatalities among teenagers and young adults. As a result, of the 29 states that had lowered their drinking age, 24 raised the age again between 1976 and 1984. By 1984, only three states allowed 18-year-olds to drink all types of alcoholic liquor. The enactment of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 prompted states to raise their legal age for purchase or public possession of alcohol to 21 or risk losing millions in federal highway funds. The states who raised it were given highway funding by the

Various issues and perspectives has encouraged the proposal of editing the restrictions of consuming alcohol in the U.S. There are several states that have exceptions within the law. The U.S. General Accounting Office, otherwise known as GAO reported that 19 states that did not directly prohibit the consumption of alcohol by individuals under 21, but yet the states does has enforcement influenced with the collaboration of the National Minimum Drinking Age Law. Therefore the states of California, Colorado, Maryland, Montana, New York, Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming can only be prosecuted with public possession of alcohol, with the exception of underage drinking. With 95% of countries around the world allowing 18 year olds to legally drink, lowering it will help regulate college and casino alcohol rules and with the 1984 National Drinking Act being ineffective lowering the drinking age to 18 would be logical and fair for the legal privileges of an 18 year old that has the privileges to marry, enlist in the military, vote, and even tried in the legal

Towards the end of the 1970 the President and the government were concerned about the legal drinking age. When the President, Ronald Reagan noticed the ridiculous amount of public health and safety issues he passed an act. For instance in 1982, President Ronald Reagan confronted a Presidential Commission officer on Drunk Driving because of the research that he found on younger drinking ages that had increased alcohol-related highway deaths. It was about thirty years ago when President Reagan passed a law in 1984, called the minimum drinking age act. The minimum drinking age act required America’s states to raise the age to 21 for purchasing and having public possession of alcohol by October 1986. For each state that don’t follow this law

I am going to address the Oklahoma State Liquor Laws. The law specifically in question is section 534, chapter 3 of Title 37 in the Oklahoma Statues. The issue being that, in the state of Oklahoma, the sale of any alcoholic beverage that is over 3.2 percent alcohol volume by weight has to be sold at room temperature and cannot be sold in grocery stores or convenient stores. By law it can only be sold by state-licensed liquor stores. This means that the general public has to pay a higher mark-up for the alcohol purchased in these privately owned liquor stores and businesses. The law says that such drinks are to be sold only at room temperature. It is also illegal for the sale of higher alcohol content drinks on Sunday’s, on election days, and on holidays. Texas, on the other hand, makes the sales of all alcoholic drinks legal in grocery stores, convenient stores, and liquor stores.

What is most remarkable about the City of El Cajon’s Ordinance is the different approach the City decided to take. The method of regulating alcohol sales by type and quantity has proven successful for the City as the ordinance only limits the sales in businesses that obtain a CUP. In the last few years, the City has seen a sharp decline in alcohol-related crime and nuisances, such as public drunkenness and loitering

Next, by lowering the drinking age, it would reduce college binge drinking by promoting safer drinking habits. “The problem here is obvious. If a 21-year-old woman overindulges at the bar, the bartender, friends, or even other patrons can encourage her to stop. If she becomes ill or injured, someone is there to help” (Hall). Drinking legally in public can be beneficial in saving lives and an overall sense of safety for young adults. A bartender is responsible for each person they serve and for their safety. If you had too much to drink at a party would your friends assume the responsibility of your well being? Ordinarily, a bartender will execute everything in their

A. Mission Statement: Calambra utilizes California’s Central Valley, Oroville olives coupled with seventh-generation expertise to produce hand-pressed, extra virgin olive oil, providing connoisseurs with the highest quality and best tasting olive oil in the world.

My trade show will be including alcoholic smoothies instead of just regular traditional smoothies. Our trade show is in Las Vegas, the Sin City so alcohol is a must have! Don’t worry, our alcohol is very weak, but attendees can still taste the alcohol in it!

     In developing the concept for the product, we thought of many factors that effect alcohol drinkers of all kinds (of legal age, of course). We were going to provide a service to all those drinkers who love to sit back at home and drink bar quality beverages without trying to make it themselves. It would be less time consuming because someone will be making it for you. All drink makers will be licensed bartenders with certificates posted. The menu will attract to college, older adults, and even newly turned 21 year-olds who want to try different kinds of beverages. The store will have an in-store menu with take home menus available.
