Although the laws may prevent numerous underage drinkers from purchasing alcohol, business has still been brisk, according to Sadler and Phelps. I think we've been up because we've had less specails. Our sales are up, but maybe we're selling less alcohol. According to Grinnell Police Captain Darrel Lamb, the new laws have not affected the number of students caught for drinking underage. The police department has not been patrolling the bars any more than usual, according to Lamb.
Some students feel that they have been affected negatively by the new laws.
