UVa Paper Fights For Booze (Advertising)

UVa_Fights_For_BoozeAh, the almighty advertising dollar, and what self respecting periodical wouldn’t chase down each available source?  UVa & Virginia Tech college papers have been duking it out with Virginia law, all in the effort to overturn a blockade on any alcohol related marketing within their pages.  They sued the ABC Department in 2007, and successfully overturned the ban. Unfortunately, however, the Attorney General’s office has appealed to a federal court in Richmond.

The state mandate exists in order to limit underage drinking, which is obviously tied directly to the rate of alcohol advertisings in college papers.

We are wondering whatever happened to the nationwide review of lowering the drinking age to 18, which caused such a stir a few months ago?
