Raising drinking age costly, officials say
TOPEKA — The drinking age issue surfaced in the Kansas Legislature again yesterday, as a Senate subcommittee examined a beer wholesaler's bill that would radically alter the laws governing beer sales.
The subcommittee heard testimony from the director of the state's Alcohol Beverage Control Division, who told the panel that it would cost the state close to $300,000 a year to enforce a higher drinking age.
A speaker from Colorado told the subcommittee that raising the drinking age would not reduce alcohol-related auto accidents but would treat people under 21 differently from other adults.
The subcommittee of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee plans to meet again next week to decide on the provisions of the proposed bill. Subcommittee Chairman Ben Vickricks, R-Salina, said the members would be
ready to report to the full committee in two weeks.
ACTION ON THE drinking age is necessary to prevent the loss of a portion of Kansas' federal highway funds. This would mean the loss of about $18.5 million during the two years covered by the federal regulations.
The House already has passed its own version of a drinking age bill, which includes a provision to allow driver's licenses to be used as private club membership cards.
The bill under consideration by the Senate panel would raise the drinking age to 21 over three years, so that those who can drink legally now could still do so.
It also changes the law to allow Sunday and election day beer sales. It would end the distinction between 3.2 percent and strong beer and would allow grocery stores to sell strong beer.
JOHN LAMB, DIRECTOR of Alcoholic Beverage Control, told the panel that the bill would require an additional $427,000 in enforcement costs for his division. Raising
the drinking age would account for 65 percent to 70 percent of that figure.
Rex Reed, a former research editor with the Wisconsin Institute, which he described as a "ibertarian think-tank" and is known for testifying for the Tavern League of Kansas.
Reed previously testified before a committee of the Colorado Legislature, which recently killed a similar bill. He said Colorado lawmakers had rejected raising the drinking age because they saw it as "federal blackmail" and because statistics showed states with a 21 drinking age had more alcohol-related accidents.
"ALL THE STATISTICS show the incidence of alcohol-related accidents will go up." Reed told the panel. "Drinking will not go down. Raising the drinking age will only change the point of sale from the tavern to the retail outlet."
Reed also said the bill failed to treat 18- to 21-year-olds equally with other adults.
"It's hypocrisy to tell 18- to 21-year-olds to march to Lebanon and Grenada to defend them," and then turn our backs on them when they come to us to defend their rights."
