BarryIn December 2012 the New America Foundation, in partnership with the American Antitrust Institute and Washington Monthly, sponsored two policy panels for an event entitled "Big Beer Blitzes America: Is Anheuser-Busch too Powerful?" The panels correspond with new reports released by the NAF & AAI, and a recent article by Tim Heffernan regarding concentration of alcohol corporations, their influence on the U.S. alcohol market, and deregulation. According to Barry Lynn, senior NAF fellow, both big beer and big retail have recently unleashed a series of attacks on the independence of the middle tier of alcohol wholesalers and distributors. To watch the panels, click here.

Supporting an Alcohol Ad-Free Environment in Massachusetts (SAFE-MA) sponsored a celebration this week to honor State Secretary of Transportation Richard Davey, former Governor Michael Dukakis and his wife Kitty, and the Allston-Brighton Substance Abuse Task Force youth coalition for their roles in banning alcohol advertisements from public transit. The SAFE-MA collaborative worked for years to ban alcohol advertisements from the MBTA, and their efforts succeeded with a ban that took effect in July 2012. In the coming year, AJ will continue working with SAFE-MA to pass a ban on alcohol ads on all state property in Massachusetts.
