SAY NO TO COUPONS
 

Do not allow instantly redeemable manufacturer coupons. Alcohol consumption is responsive to price.  Studies showed higher alcohol prices were consistent with fewer motor vehicle crashes and fatalities, less alcohol-impaired driving,  less violence and fewer deaths.  Youth are particularly sensitive to price. Do not lower the price of alcohol by allowing manufacturer coupons
