Pathfinder for Research of Alcohol Laws in the United StatesCompiled by Colette LaFond, J.D.
Under the 21st Amendment of the United States Constitution, which ended the nation's experiment with prohibition, alcohol is treated differently from all other commodities bought and sold in the United States.
While the federal government generally retains some authority over the production of alcoholic beverages, the individual states exercise primary legal authority over access to and sale of these beverages. As a result, each state has established its own particular system of control over alcohol that differs from its neighbors.
Therefore research into most of the law relating to alcoholic beverages in the United States is necessarily state specific and can be rather confusing. This guide is intended to provide access to tools that can make research into alcohol law less confusing and more efficient.
