From 1 July 2024, amendments to the Liquor Regulation 2019 will come into effect. This means takeaway and grocery store licensees in the Darwin urban liquor control area can ask customers intending to purchase take away alcohol where they intend to consume the alcohol. Licensees can refuse service to a customer if: o the customer cannot state the place where the alcohol is intended to be consumed; or o if the intended location is a prohibited public place or other restricted area. These changes are part of a broader suite of measures aimed at tackling alcohol related crime and anti-social behaviour in the Northern Territory.

There should be no more talk of the three tier system, the "three channel system" is already here and functioning in some states, as an industry, we need to embrace this, educate legislators that it can and does work effectively. It is not an either or, but an inclusive distribution system that helps producers, consumers, warehouses, and retailers. It works in all other industries, it can and does work for the beverage alcohol market as well. Stop the three-tier talk. #dtc #selfdistribution #directtotrade #directtoconsumer #saleschannels #complianceservices #regulatorycompliance #regulatory #competition #levelplayingfield #beverageindustry #beverageinnovation #alcoholicbeverages Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau

A framework for beverage alcohol market freedom: - Adults should be able to purchase and ship products to themselves or other adults. - All licensed sellers should be free to trade with any other licensed entities. These two principles would create a genuine free market in the US. No complexity needed - just let buyers buy and sellers sell.

To mark the latest change, here's a look back at five examples of the state putting restrictions on purchasing alcohol.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WINE RETAILERS released this well researched and informative white paper on potential improvements to alcohol regulation here in the US. This coupled with the news coming out of the judicial system regarding #Provi's anticompetitive lawsuit against #SouthernGlazer and #RNDC highlight the opportunity US legislators have to make real, measurable impact on an industry, citizenry, economy, and government; all at the same time. Grand Slam level reform opportunities. Legislators and bureaucrats who want to make a name for themselves should take note. #alcoholindustry #3tiers #alcohol #liquor #reform
