The Bottle Bill

In order to offer a viable platform in which restaurants can offer alcoholic beverages as part of their drink line, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has created a set of guidelines which establishments must utilize in order to initiate a more responsible service to the community. According to the TABC guidelines (2014) these guidelines should clear following national, state, and local laws when offering alcohol to patrons, such as ensuring that alcoholic beverage is only served to those over age 21 (checked if they appear to be under 30), a valid Texas driver’s license, or another valid identification must be used, and employees must refuse service to anyone that does not fit these criteria. However, there are also TABC guidelines (2014) which are state defined, such as the need to refuse service to anyone that appears to be intoxicated, prohibit employees from serving customers to the point of intoxication, offer mediation for intoxicated customers who wish to leave the premises in such a state, and adhere to the TABC certification regulations. A secondary goal, to this extent is also to meet the mixed beverage gross sales tax requirements at a rate of 6.7% after Jan.1, 2014 and 14% prior to Jan. 1, 2014, as well as the mixed beverage sales tax, which was implemented after Jan. 1, 2014. In order to draw more insight into the subject, the Olive Garden restaurant has looked up.

Eventually, the people of Massachusetts recognized that

In 1984 the United States Government approved the National Minimum Drinking Age Act that required that “the States prohibit persons under 21 years of age from purchasing or publicly possessing alcoholic beverages as a condition of receiving State highway funds.” Even though this bill was nowhere near the magnitude of the prohibition act that was passed less than a century before it, the act still damaged the relationship between individuals, firms, and the United States government. Although the intentions of the government were to control alcohol consumption among citizens aged 18-21, the passing of this act affected the equilibrium already established by a consumer-producer market, created a market failure and a black market, and introduced excise taxes into the market.

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

The water bottle industry as made a positive impact on America’s economy. Americans have experienced the economic strain in the job market over the past several years with layoffs and a lack in the number of jobs available. This industry not only supplies us with a convenient, healthier beverage option, but also provides jobs for the American worker. Based on analysis

D-The patient was advised that her bottles are in fact suspended due to the incident that occurred on 02/08/2017 of which the patient needs to accountability of taking a second dose of her methadone even though she has taken her methadone at home. The patient admits her accountability of her actions of taking the second dose. The patient then asked about how she can regained her take home bottles of which this writer explained the policy of take home bottles, referring to the reinstatement process. The patient is referred to attend the Take Home Bottle Group on 03/9/2017 to have her bottles reinstated. Then the patient shared that she wrote a grievance letter and still plans to submit it for the Program Director to review. Furthermore, this

The fallacies that were present in Proposition 65, titled “Carryout Bags. Charges,” were both verbal and material types. Proposition 65 gives emphasis to an alleged swindle of the taxes collected from alternative carryout bags. The analysis suggests that the required minimum charge of ten cents to purchase recyclable carryout bags from stores brings in profitable revenue to the companies, and indicates that the proceeds should be allocated to state funds such as

The Liquor Amendment of 2014’s purpose is to amend the Liquor Act 2007 and the Liquor Regulation 2008, enabling certain areas to be declared prescribed precincts, in which licensed premises are subject to regulatory conditions. This will enable periodic licence fees to be imposed. The Liquor Amendment Act is to make streets safer by inaugurating new measures, which will prevent drug and alcohol-related violence. There have been a number of recent incidents revolving around serious and violent drug-fuelled assaults in Sydney. Ultimately, this has caused major perturbation throughout the community of New South Wales.

Social psychologists began researching recycling behaviors in the early 1970’s while studying the effectiveness of beverage bottle deposit programs (Osbaldiston & Schott, 2012). As concerns increased about the impact of solid waste production on the environment, social psychology has sought an understanding of what factors motivate individuals to recycle (Osbaldiston & Schott, 2012). With recycling rates leveling off at 35%, there is a need for practical knowledge that can be put into use by policy makers to encourage more recycling behavior,

The objective of this report is to illustrate the effect of the implementation of a plastic bag tax in Australia. By providing a brief overview of issues, correlated with plastic bag consumption in conjunction with current and proposed changes to policies in Australia. Through the application of economic theory, it can determined whether a tax would decrease consumption and through supporting evidence indicating its efficiency when applied in practice.

A worker at a paper factory in Illinois states, “Then the issue was saving a tree. But trees are replaced. We plant them, we cut them, we plant them again” (Pendleton). The worker also said, “The problem now is the landfill situation, I think this one is going to stick” (Pendleton). By 1991 thirty-nine states and hundreds of local governments have passed laws or solutions requiring the purchase of recycled paper. According to Henry Miller, vice president of a paper mill said, “By volume, thirty-eight percent of solid waste in a landfill is paper and cardboard” (Pendleton). That paper and cardboard, if recycled could have produced that much paper or other products and it would have cleared up thirty-eight percent of many landfills across America. One major way to get people involved with recycling is the environment perspective. Not only would the landfills be cut down the environment gains a lot by having people recycle. So what do the states do to keep the environment clean? They enact laws against litter and waste. One way is the state requiring the deposit on beer and soft-drink bottles and cans (Prichard 8A). In those states, millions of bottles and cans that once were left on beaches, tossed in rivers and parks or thrown along the highways are being taken back to stores instead for a refund. A twenty-year old student from Michigan said, “Throwing away cans is like throwing away money to me” (Prichard 8A). These state laws must be working if people have this

     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.

The change in the consumers' taste is another key trend in the industry. Many substitutes to carbonated soft drinks gained more popularity among consumers. Exhibit 5 shows an increase in the consumption of bottled water from 11.8 in 1998 to 13.2 gallons/capita in 2000, and that of juices from 10 to 10.4 gallons/capita at the expense of

PepsiCo has the potential to encourage consumers into drinking water and eating healthier snacks that they promote. Bottled water is rising and it is a healthy substitute to sugared drinks. Restaurants, clubs and venues are using their beverage to make special drinks. This is where alcohol industries gains more profit to their company. However, with the ability to adjust customer’s demands with new and appealing products it can dominate to success.

Recently, there have been increasing trends of younger customers consuming alcoholic beverages. With improvements in economies, education and technology, younger
