BILL NUMBER: S8506 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to including, for the purposes of distribution and retail sale, certain alcoholic beverages containing a stimulant within the definition of "liquor" PURPOSE : The purpose of this bill is shift the point of sale place for certain high caffeinated alcoholic beverages (hereinafter CABs) from grocery and convenience stores to liquor stores. CABs are defined, under this bill, as a beverage with a combination of two percent alcohol by volume and 5 milligrams of caffeine per ounce. These caffeinated alcoholic beverages (CABs) are now being actively marketed to and increasingly used by those who are between the ages of 14 to 25. Shifting the place where CABs are sold from grocery and convenience stores to liquor stores will effectively limit access to such CABs for underage drinkers. The reason being that persons under the age of 21 can enter into and purchase items in grocery and convenience stores, but cannot enter into liquor stores to purchase any products sold there. Also, minors tend to hang out around convenience stores and have a higher ability to shoplift CABs from such stores, but this would not be the case if CABs were exclusively sold in liquor stores.
