2010 Beverage Retailing Issues

Allow Convenience Stores and Supermarkets to Begin Selling Wine
NYACS supports the concept of amending the Alcoholic Beverage Control law to permit food and grocery stores to apply for a license to sell wine for off-premise consumption, as long as there is no trade-off under which liquor stores would be allowed to begin selling cigarettes and as long as the change is implemented in a way that does not place convenience stores at a disadvantage with another class of retail trade.

Reject Beer-Gas Hours Restrictions
NYACS opposes any effort to limit or prohibit overnight sales of beer at stores that also sell gas. Such proposals are rooted in the theory that such sales promote drinking and driving. There is no basis for that conclusion. NYACS also opposes further statewide restrictions on hours when licensed retailers may sell beer and wine products for off-premises consumption.
