Abstract
Do states need federal action to enforce their own laws about alcohol sales? There was a federal law that predated the Prohibition Era, but some federal legislators recently believed that more legal enforcement was needed due to increasing direct purchases of alcohol that bypassed state liquor control laws. Sales to underage people comprised the primary motive for the new Twenty-First Amendment Enforcement Act of 2000. Establishments now face more federal prosecution with the new law in addition to prosecution under earlier federal and state laws if they sell to underage people. The debate is over what kind of legal “teeth” are needed. Another issue is the matter of easy credit card offers to high school and college students, which involves more than just alcohol purchases.
