Illinois must keep control over Alcohol
The regulatory safeguards Illinois employs to control the production, distribution, sale and consumption of alcohol are under attack. Over the years there has been an orchestrated effort over using the federal court system to chip away at the ability of states to regulate alcohol. We have seen cases in which private interests want to put their own profits over public welfare by using the courts to relax marketplace controls and override the states' ability to regulate alcohol.
Such is the case in Illinois, where a major global brewer is suing the Illinois Liquor Control Commission in order to own 100 percent of its largest distributor in the state. Illinois alcohol regulators are the defendants in this suit. If the plaintiffs are successful they would remove the transparency and accountability that is created by the current separation between the manufacturer and distributor.
Alcohol is different from other consumer products, and our state regulatory system has worked to protect Illinois' consumers for decades. Alcohol can be enjoyed as part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle - or it can easily be abused by being consumed in excess or by those who are not fit to drink it, like children. Elected state officials in Illinois are best suited to determine where, when and how much alcohol can be sold to its citizens and by whom - and state law enforcement officials are best able to enforce the laws that keep drunken drivers off the road, alcohol out of the hands of minors and myriad other common sense protections.
There are innumerable reasons and tremendous public support for maintaining our alcohol regulatory system in Illinois, not pulling at various threads to unravel it. When it comes to alcohol, the states are best positioned to serve the interests of our communities.

Does drinking alcohol increase the quantity and quality of breast milk? This is another of the many myths that seem to be part of our folklore. Recent interesting studies indicate that drinking alcohol can actually reduce the quantity of breast milk, since alcohol affects the release of oxytocin and prolactin, two hormones involved in the production of milk. This doesn't mean that nursing mothers shouldn't drink at all, but should be careful, since some women are more affected by alcohol than others.
|
Further, alcohol is a safety hazard; it is involved in 66% of fatal accidents, 53% of fire deaths, 36% of pedestrian accidents, 22% of home accidents, 45% of drownings, 50% of skiing accidents, more admissions to mental hospitals than any other cause, 50% of all traffic accidents (killing 25,000 and seriously injuring 1,000,000 annually), and is the #1 killer of people 25 and under (the #3 killer in America for all ages).
|
Fluctuating hormone levels in women means that the intoxicating effects of alcohol will set in faster when their estrogen levels are higher, premenstrually. Also, alcohol increases the estrogen levels- birth control pills or other medications with estrogen will cause the intoxicating effects to set in at lower levels of BAC.
|
A popular drink during the Middle Ages to soothe those who were sick and heal them was called a caudle. It was an alcohol drink containing eggs, bread, sugar and spices.
