...objection to the thesis is the common thought that highering the drinking age will lead to lower motor vehicle crashes under the influence. Many health experts and statisticians will say that a lower age lowers motor vehicle crash numbers, but this is purely based off observational data. Current studies on the effect of the minimum drinking age law and motor vehicle collisions are problematic in that there has not been a significant amount of research. This topic opened up more recently with the enactment of the Minimum Drinking Age Act. New studies started up and the current studies use observational data to make conclusions on data trends. However, many of these papers note that the spike in motor vehicle collisions...

...A Claim Against the Drinking Age in the United States of America The substance of alcohol has long been a topic of intense debate, particularly in the United States of America. In its relatively short history, the United States has had a prohibition which completely banned all alcohol distribution and consumption, as well as a drinking age which has changed over the years. Ultimately, it seems that legislative bodies in the U.S. cannot make up their minds. A big part of that indecision may stem from the fact that most amendments have been largely ineffective in culling what has been a very real, very large problem in the United States: alcohol related deaths or sicknesses. Nearly one out of every ten deaths in working class adults dies from alcohol-related incidents (10% of all deaths), making alcohol the fourth largest cause of preventable deaths in the United States. As a result of this, promoting responsible alcohol consumption and continued responsible actions once its effects take place are paramount in responding to those significant statistics. The method that seems to have been most focused on in curtailing dangerous alcohol consumption has been legally regulating who is allowed to consume it (as mentioned above: prohibition, and drinking ages). In short, alcohol consumption has been made illegal, and consequently deemed unjust, for people below certain ages. Many people have raised ethical, practical, scientific, and legal arguments surrounding...

...that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior. Philosophers today usually divide ethical theories into three general subject areas; metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics (Fieser, 2013). Metaethics investigates where our ethical principles come from, and what they mean. Are they merely social inventions? Do they involve more than expressions of our individual emotions? Metaethical answers to these questions focus on the issues of universal truths, the will of God, the role of reason in ethical judgments, and the meaning of ethical terms themselves. Normative ethics takes on a more practical task, which is to arrive at moral standards that regulate right and wrong conduct. This may involve articulating the good habits that we should acquire, the duties that we should follow, or the consequences of our behavior on others. Finally, involving in examining specific controversial issues, such as abortion, infanticide, animal rights, environmental concerns, homosexuality, capital punishment, or nuclear war. By using the conceptual tools of metaethics and normative ethics, discussions in applied ethics try to resolve these controversial issues. The lines of distinction between metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics are often unclear. For example, the issue of abortion is an applied ethical topic since it involves a specific type of controversial behavior. But it also depends on more general normative principles, such...

...onethirty is the first high proof alcoholic beverage positioned to be acclaimed worldwide. The sleek bottle design, packaging and advertisements are all geared toward young emerging professionals. The launch of this product has raised many legal implications that TT Spirits will need to carefully consider. The successful promotion and decisions regarding onethirty are crucial to ensure the profitability and longevity of the new label. Background Information An alcoholic beverage’s “proof” is the percentage by volume of alcohol in a beverage and is calculated by doubling the percentage of alcohol in each beverage. The highest possible alcohol proof is 191.2. Any higher, the alcohol would be converted into an azeotrope with water. Typically, a beer ranges from 10 to 14 proof, a glass of wine can be from 18 to 25 proof and mixed drinks have an average proof of 80. The true problem lies with the uneducated drinkers; people who are unaware of the different proofs and amount of alcohol in each beverage. College students are often targeted as binge drinkers and alcoholics. This is because many students do not realize the short and long-term effects of alcohol on their systems in addition to the dangers that come along with binge drinking. Persons who understand that strong-proof alcohol is more potent than a lower-proof and drink responsibly typically do not have a problem, but persons who fail to realize that they should not drink as much of a high-proof alcohol because it is...

...a specific review of how Phusion Projects, maker of the Four Loko alcoholic drink, acted between 2005 and 2010 in regards to their operation within the caffeinated alcoholic drink market. The paper will review the FTC and FDA legal issues specific to 2010 that were filed against Phusion Projects. There will be 3 different ethical theories used to determine how the company morally acted in their choices. The ethical theories that will be used are Utilitarian, Kantian, and Machiavellian views. Finally, we will review how Phusion Projects handled their social responsibilities. We will be limiting the focus of the paper to the decision to operate within the caffeinated alcohol energy drinks and the marketing decisions made by Phusion Projects. Their actions were important because they forced the government to ban the niche market they had worked so hard to operate within. To better understand the case we have included this brief overview of the market and specifics to Phusion Projects and the Four Loko product. Phusion Projects was formed in 2005 by a group of 4 friends. They chose to enter the alcohol energy drink market based on current drinking trends at that time. Red Bull and vodka was very popular and a new market introduction from Sparks in 2002 had a growing market. Phusion Projects introduced a similar beverage with a slightly different flavor and began marketing to college students in the Midwest. The first products did not have the success they were looking...

Introduction: Thoughts on Task Overview Over the past 44 years, the environment in which we do business has dramatically changed with a more ethical and social responsivity due to the ability to access information whenever and where ever you are from any company you like. This access has changed the “rules of the game” to a point that it is a legal requirement in some countries to have a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and in the future, I think that more countries will follow Indonesia’s lead to combat environmental damage. Environmental concerns is not the only area there CSR encompasses. Words like ‘continuous disclosure’, materiality assessment and CSR is becoming somewhat of a growing ideology, which is being injected into the corporate psyche with a standard demand from stakeholders. In this report, I will show through a number of company views that the rules of the game has changed not just through regulation but expectable social views. 2.

... Abstract Excess drinking is associated with lost productivity, accidents, disability, early death, crime, neglect of family responsibilities, and personality deterioration. These and related concerns have justified special restrictions on alcoholic-beverage commerce and consumption. The nature and extent of government involvement in this arena vary widely over time and place, and are often controversial. Economists have contributed to the evaluation of alcohol policy through empirical work on the effects of alcohol-control measures on consumption and its consequences. Economics has also provided an accounting framework for defining and comparing costs and benefits of interventions, including excise taxes. Outside of the policy arena, economists have analyzed alcohol consumption in the context of stretching the standard model of consumer choice to include intertemporal effects and social influence. Nonetheless, perhaps the most important contribution by economists has been the repeated demonstration that there is nothing unusual about alcohol in at least one essential respect: consumers drink less ethanol (and have fewer alcohol-related problems) when alcohol-beverage prices are increased. Important econometric challenges remain, including the search for a satisfactory resolution to the conflicting results on the effect of price changes on consumption by consumers who tend to drink heavily. There are also unresolved puzzles about the relationship between drinking and productivity;...
