policy of discouraging alcohol use among underage

regulated differently than other products by the 
States and Federal Government. States have pri-
mary authority to regulate alcohol distribution and 
sale, and the Federal Government should support 
and supplement these State efforts. States also have 
a responsibility to fight youth access to alcohol and 
reduce underage drinking. Continued State regula-

sale, distribution, transportation and storage of alco-
holic beverages are clearly in the public interest and 
are critical to promoting responsible consumption,
