As part of our mission to create awareness in the community about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs we wanted to inform you of a few new alcohol license requests in Tippecanoe County. There are three Walgreens establishments in Tippecanoe County who have filed for licenses to sell alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and liquor). There will be a public hearing to discuss these licensures on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 10am at the Tippecanoe County Office Building, Tippecanoe Room, 20 N. 3rd Street. The hearing provides an opportunity for community members to voice any concerns or objections to the license request. The Drug-Free Coalition of Tippecanoe County feels that there are an adequate number of outlets to support the market in the area. Over-saturation of license and limited controls on how alcohol is sold have been proven to contribute to underage drinking and other alcohol related problems. The Drug-Free Coalition of Tippecanoe County and national pervention efforts find that when business and communities work together to address issues of alcohol outlet density, sales and distribution practices, that the problems of high risk drinking and underage consumption are greatly reduced. If you are concerned about the amount of alcohol available in your community, please consider voicing your concerns. Here is how you can get involved:
