Alcoholic Beverage Control in Alaska

Abstract: A 10 page overview of the laws affecting the possession and sale of alcoholic beverages in Alaska. Includes information regarding the history and current status of such laws and statistics regarding alcohol related injuries as well as information regarding 'local option' the ability of individual communities to prohibit sale and possession of alcoholic beverages in their communities. Provides details regarding Burrow, one of the first Alaskan communities to implement their local option. Presents the contrast that although the Burrow prohibition appeared to translated into fewer alcohol-related incidences, the community elected to return to legalized sales after only one year of prohibition. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
