Numerous organizations from across Virginia that include professionals and concerned citizens in prevention, education, treatment and recovery have prepared extensive comments with 25 research references to submit for this periodic review. Because the comment exceeds this online townhall word limit it will be sent with a cover letter and list of contacts directly to the ABC. 

As Virginians all of those who worked on drafting the submitted comment want to support the VA ABC in retaining and shaping regulations that will most effectively reduce harm and cost to Virginia related to excess alcohol consumption and underage drinking.
