Author: This report that was done by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation for the National Highway Safety Administration is from 2003 but it does a good job of organizing the issues related to alcohol control. You can find it here:

A fundamental premise of the state regulatory systems is that alcoholic beverages are potentially hazardous products and therefore should be subject to special conditions not applied to other commercial products. Underage drinking and intoxication are of particular concern because of their connection to alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes. States vary widely in their approach to these alcohol problems, and although these variations may have enormous implications for prevention and treatment, few studies have described them or assessed their effectiveness. This report addresses this gap in the research literature by analyzing variations in 12 key legal policies addressing underage drinking and drinking to intoxication:
• Purchase of alcohol by minors
• Attempted purchase of alcohol by minors
• Possession of alcohol by minors
• Consumption of alcohol by minors
• Use of false ID cards
• Furnishing alcohol to minors
• Furnishing alcohol to intoxicated individuals
• Responsible Beverage Service
• Keg registration
• False and misleading advertising
• Advertising that targets minors
