Description

Alaska state law provides that Alaska communities may make legal or illegal the local sale of liquor. Further, they may restrict legal liquor sales to community-run liquor stores and may prosecute other sales of liquor or the possession or transportation of alcoholic beverages with the intent to sell them illegally. This study of the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board, conducted in connection with a larger research project dealing with varying legal approaches to the control of alcohol use in rural Alaska, was designed to determine the extent to which statewide legalistic control mechanisms for beverage alcohol helped or hindered local option control efforts.
