House Tweaks Alcohol Bill Provisions On Home Storage
A House subcommittee trimmed several alcohol control clauses in the new dry bill. It eliminated the non potable label for denatured alcohol and medicinal preparations while keeping a clause that they shall be unfit for beverage use. The panel dropped the requirement for labeling alcoholic content on toilet and antiseptic items and extended permit-based purchase limits from 10 to 90 days. Pharmacists may sell only to physicians with prescriptions. physician examinations for liquor customers were removed. Church wine permits are restricted to rabbis and clergy, while advertising rules shift toward strict controls on billboards yet permit trade journal ads for manufacturers and wholesale druggists. Provisions banning promotion of alcohol for general manufacture remain, with added penalties for certain advertising methods.
