Beacon Hill Ignores Alcohol Policies

24/7/365 FREE ALCOHOL was in included in the 2010 Flawed Legislation passed on Beacon Hill, with little debate in an effort to genuflect to the Gambling Industry.

While Republicans foolishly railed about the "Nanny State," facts prove otherwise.

In their willingness to please the Gambling Industry, Beacon Hill ignored that each of us would become innocent targets of Intoxicated Slot Barn Patrons who had been served FREE ALCOHOL.

From American Gaming Association: Casino Alcohol Policies

Here are the facts about the industry's alcohol policies:

◦Not all casinos provide free alcohol to their customers. Of the 22 states with commercial casino gaming, casinos in only 13—Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota and West Virginia—are permitted to offer free alcohol to their patrons.



If only 13 states of 22 states offered FREE ALCOHOL, why was it imperative?

The AGA comments fail to note hours of service.

Connecticut does NOT offer 24/7/365 FREE ALCOHOL SERVICE because of the high incidence of DRUNKEN DRIVERS and serious accidents.
