[ZMUN M441]

This bill overturns laws prohibiting the sale or consumption of alcohol in Lincoln, and lowers the age to consume alcohol to 18 — while keeping the age to purchase it at the federal requirement of 21.

LGC 10.13 also eliminates the restrictive, often pointless laws that some of our states have on the sale of alcohol. Most notably, Wisconsin prohibits its sale between 21 and 6, and Pennsylvania restricts the amount of beer that can be purchased at supermarkets, and prohibits wine and spirits from being sold at them whatsoever. That's right, Pennsylvanians — when you shop at your local Redner's, Weis, or Giant Eagle, you can't even include the tequila! By overturning these unnecessary restrictions, the Act will make our region's alcohol laws more reasonable and uniform.

[Mr. Reactionary]

I believe the drinking age is already 18 in Lincoln, but it doesnt hurt to reinclude it in this, since its a comprehensive topic bill.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

I'm not going to support this, because I do think there is a good reason why some of these laws are in place. It's already pretty easy to buy liquor if you want too.
