I sent each of you an email, you were assigned a state within the US. Visit the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau website, and other sources, to research the answers to the following questions. What are the laws in your state for Self-Distribution by producers? Retailing or on-site sales? (eg. Winery/Brewery tasting rooms) What are the laws and restrictions on internet sales and shipping? Are there any franchising laws with regards to relationships between producers and wholesalers? What is the sales structure for products within the state? (e.g. Are grocery stores allowed to sell liquor? Only beer and wine?) What are the various distinctions between on-premise and off-premise retailers? (Are there drive-through liquor stores? Can consumers buy packaged goods for carry out from on-premise retailers?) Are there any strange or specific laws that are distinct to your state? (For example, it is illegal to serve alcohol to a moose in Alaska.) Your assignment should use MLA formatting and include a works cited page with at least three credible sources.
