Abstract
Eighteen states have created a monopoly by a state agency to control the distribution and sale of distilled spirits at the retail or wholesale level, or both. Since the postprohibition relegalization of alcoholic beverages, no control or monopoly state has elected to end its monopoly on the spirits trade; and conversely, no open or license state has chosen to establish a spirits monopoly. This study found that the per-capita consumption of alcohol and incidence of alcoholism are generally lower in monopoly states than in open states.
