Alcohol Policy Surveillance
Policy Tracking Tools
Alcohol Policy Information System
The Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS), funded by NIAAA, provides a legal research database that contains information on several key alcohol policy topics at both the state and federal levels. Additionally, APIS provides maps and charts to visualize the data, tracks policy changes over time and provides state profiles. Beyond alcohol, APIS also tracks legal adult use of cannabis.
NABCA Survey Database
The Survey Database is an online, searchable database on the regulatory practices of alcohol laws in each state compiled from surveying alcohol regulators across the country. The database includes numerous surveys covering operational and regulatory information. The data is collected from control and license jurisdictions and Canadian provinces and territories. It provides members a way to search for information by state, topic, or keyword. You must log in to the NABCA website to access the survey database.
Alcohol To-Go
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant amount of change in alcohol policy surrounding the curbside pick-up and home delivery of alcohol. Though a number of states previously permitted the sale of beer and wine to be picked up or delivered by on-premise retailers, a large expansion of off-premise sales permissions by on-premise retailers occurred in March of 2020 onward, some of which were later made permanent by state legislatures.
The National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA) continues to work hard to provide its members and partners timely updates on state-level policy changes made through governor-issued executive orders or state laws that impact the regulation of the alcohol as it pertains to curbside pick-up and home delivery. This webpage will be monitored and updated regularly as new information is available. Please email policy@nabca.org if you have updates or questions.
