APIS: New Resource on State Underage Drinking Policies
The Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS), a project of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, announces its latest update of state-by-state alcohol policies.
This year’s update includes a new posting on “underage internal possession” laws. These laws prohibit an underage person from having alcohol in his or her system. They typically require evidence of alcohol in the minor’s body, but do not require any specific evidence of possession or consumption. Such laws are useful to law enforcement when breaking up underage drinking parties because they allow officers to bring charges against underage persons who are not holding alcoholic beverages and who have not been observed drinking alcoholic beverages by the officers. As of January 1, 2009, eight States have internal possession laws. (Source: Join Together, 10/27/09)
