OM NG EE AE A EOE DS ee sn oe a SDD Peet Gm Gr Pte et sae 12. | WCnewsmagazine Texas Students Death Leads to Cinderella Bill By Maegan Cleckley * Wenewsmagazine To what extent is the government responsible for protecting college students from drinking irresponsibly? This question demands an answer as State representative of Texas, Rob Eissler, moves ahead with his House Bill -36, which has been properly nicknamed the Cinderella Bill. His proposal aims to create a law that will prohibit twenty-one year olds from drinking before 7am on the day of their birthdays. It will also punish bar owners who knowingly sell alcohol before 7am to a newly-turned 21-year-old. This bill was proposed in February of 2005, after a Texas A&M student died from alcohol poisoning the morning of his 21* birthday. Michael Wagner passed away during the early hours of his 21* birthday after consuming nine four-ounce shots of alcohol in a very short period of time. Eissler has conveyed that this bill is not intended to prohibit 21-year-olds from celebrating. The bill's purpose is to eliminate the two hour window of time, from the hours of 12am to 2 am, when newly-turned 21-year-olds try to beat the clock before the bars close and drink as much as they can. The removal of that two hour strain is the intention of the bill. Many students attempt to consume the infamous 21 shots on their 21* birthday. Many bars are known for giving free shots to customers on their 21% birthday. Celebrated traditions, such as these, are what cause young people to die only hours after turning 21. Though this bill has received little criticism, many are curious as to its effectiveness. To many, tossing that fake ID and purchasing alcohol on the 21* birthday is considered a rite of passage. It is commonly held, however, that if a 21-year-old wants to drink on his or her birthday, there are always ways to obtain the alcohol. Others have stated that alcohol poisoning still happens on occasion, regardless of the presence or absence of the two hour window that Eissler is trying to eliminate. Many feel that Eisslers bill will simply postpone the inevitable. Students in Texas have stated that its their sole responsibility to drink responsibly, and state law is not the way to regulate this situation. Many feel that the federal constraints concerning the drinking age cause students to binge drink in the first place. Eissler has responded to these opinions by saying that he realizes these kids are going to drink. He simply hopes to rearrange their drinking schedule to that night, rather than that early morning, in hopes that they will have more time to pace themselves. Though this type of government control on alcohol could backfire, Eissler is confident in his proposal. Hearings are said to begin in March of 2006. In the United States today, 24 states and the District of Columbia have laws similar to the Cinderella Bill. To date, Texas holds the highest number of alcohol-related fatalities in the US, and Eissler hopes that his new proposal will reduce such alarming data. On August 16, Governor Mike Easley officially signed into law a new bill allowing for malt beverages with alcohol content of up to 15% to be sold in the state of North Carolina. Up until this bill was signed, North Carolina was only one of six states in the country who limited beer to 6% alcohol. Beer aficionados and microbreweries statewide lobbied the Legislature for the change; the largest lobbying group was North Carolinas own Pop the Cap. According to Popthecap.com, 97% of the beer consumed in North Carolina is mass market light lager. But within that remaining 3% market share, there is a world of premium beer that was unavailable to North Carolinians. In many cases, those excluded beers are aged like fine wine and are handled and consumed with the same respect. Many come from long traditions of craftsmanship in the countries where they are produced (including religious orders), or they represent American brewers new interest in classic styles of beer. In North Carolina, wine and spirits had no restrictions on alcohol-by- volume. Wine has a higher ABV than beer. Wine can range upwards of 20% ABV and hard liquor has a much higher ABV (20-80%); however, beer was the only adult beverage with restrictions on alcohol by volume imposed on it. Actually, wine is a product very similar to beer. The fermentation and production processes of beer-making and wine-making are almost identical. This change in law will not just affect the consumers in North Carolina, North Carolina legalizes stronger beer _ By Carla Batchelor WCnewsmagazine but the brewers within the state are now exposed to new source of revenue. The brewers can now catch up to speed with the majority of the country and fully compete in the sell of alcohol. Revenue from the sell of beer will rise as a whole; citizens no longer have to drive out of the state with money in hand to sample and purchase beer which was unavailable to them before. North Carolina can now keep revenue within the state lines. According to realbeer.com, Ashevilles Highland Brewing Company has already brewed a batch of 8% Scottish-style ale, for which it will now seek permits to sell in North Carolina. Now what does this increase in beer selection mean for college students? While most Western students consume the typical brands of Budweiser and Miller Light on a regular occasion, the passing of the new law allows for the chance to drink the from wider variety of beer. Local restaurants including Guadalupes, OMalleys and Soul Infusion already have the new beer ready to order. So go check the increased selection out and be responsible, but most of all, show the lawmakers that this was a good decision to make.
