Va. ABC Regs.-Inadequate Benefits/Pros for more liquor promotions/SWAG or alcohol "contributions"
 

These new rules would increase the maximum dollar value amount from $10 to $20 for give-away novelty and specialty items bearing alcoholic beverage advertising and allow contributions of alcoholic beverages to charitable groups (to be served) for service at events.

Again, per essential "due diligence", with Pros & Cons, for any such alcohol control or controlled substance regulation, the record shows very inadequate "Pros" here and too much focus on short-term profits for any sellers/ wholesalers involved.  Discard these proposals.
