"With such compelling information, the question is why haven't we been able to do more to prevent the crisis of underage drinking? The answer is: the alcohol industry"

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.
