"Today’s system balances competition with public safety to ensure that consumers can enjoy alcohol without suffering the negative effects of an unregulated marketplace"	0
Is there really any competition when the state-based regulatory system the wholesalers love so much require that producers of alcohol use a wholesaler to bring their goods to market, meaning that without use of a wholesaler a producer cannot enter a state's market?	2
It also means that wholesalers get to decide what consumers drink, not consumers.	2
"Unfortunately the effective state-based regulatory system in the U.S. is under attack.	2
Over the past 10 years,more than 25 states have faced challenges in federal courts to their authority to regulate alcohol and their ability to maintain a licensed system of alcohol controls."	2
The only challenges to the state-based alcohol regulatory system are those that discriminate against interstate commerce for protectionist reasons.	0
Even in the wake of successful suits that challenged the protectionist laws that wholesalers originally pushed, the state retained extraordinarily broad authority to maintain a robust system of alcohol controls.	3
