  When people think of underage alcohol problems they often think about the role of the licensed retailer and most frequently the convenience store or liquor store. The on-premise retail licensees make up nearly half of all the licensed businesses throughout the country. Depending on the laws of each jurisdiction people under the age of 21 may be lawfully allowed inside these businesses to socialize, but not consume alcohol. Retailer promotions and popular music make the on premise licensee a popular destination for those under the age of 21. How does law enforcement police the on-premise licensee? What role does the licensee assume in responsibility for underage alcohol problems in a community? - Electronic Seminar: On-Premise Enforcement and Retailer Training         Opportunities
