Summary In most states, agencies at the local level have the power to establish local regulations and land use policies. These policies can help create and maintain an environment with regard to alcohol that protects public health and safety and that, in particular, protects young people from underage drinking. Communities should explore the scope of the powers they have in their particular state and use policy to control the place, product, pricing, and promotion practices used to sell alcohol. These actions can be extremely effective in reducing underage alcohol use and the serious problems that come with it. References:
