ABI supports moderate, responsible alcohol consumption consistent with one’s own medical needs. Evidence supports the notion that moderate consumption can be part of a healthy lifestyle.

ABI argues that the supposed benefits of tariffs are far outweighed by the broader economic consequences that alcohol producers, sellers, and consumers will experience--notably impacted American beer and distilled spirits.

Instead of spreading traffic safety resources too thinly by requiring low-BAC, first-time offenders to install interlocks, states should first ensure the most dangerous hardcore offenders comply with interlock orders.

Traffic deaths from both high and dangerous hardcore drunk drivers should be addressed, but separately. Tackling both of them under the same statute will only impede effectiveness and harm law abiding citizens.
