About this Quote
This quote by Lucille Roybal-Allard talks to the problem of minor drinking and why it has been so tough to prevent it. In spite of the engaging evidence that underage drinking is a severe problem, we have actually not had the ability to do more to avoid it. The answer, according to Roybal-Allard, is the alcohol market. The alcohol market has a vested interest in promoting and selling their products, and this has actually made it hard to enact significant legislation to avoid underage drinking. The industry has actually had the ability to utilize its influence to lobby against legislation that would restrict access to alcohol for minors, and this has actually made it hard to make development in this location. The quote works as a reminder that the alcohol market is a powerful force that must be considered if we are to make development in preventing underage drinking.

"We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it"
