(RALEIGH) -- The American Council on Alcohol Problems sees many issues relating to alcohol, but North Carolina's current system of managing liquor sales is not one of them. ACAP President Elect and director of the Christian Action League Rev. Mark Creech said that nothing good would come from privatizing liquor sale.

"Privatization would increase liquor outlet density, hours of sale, spirits advertising and promotion and ultimately dangerous alcohol consumption levels, while at the same time, undermining what has been a consistent revenue source for this state," said Creech. Liquor stores are currently overseen by the state and local boards rather than private operators.

The American Council on Alcohol Problems used some of the time at their annual convention in Raleigh to create a resolution in opposition of privatizing liquor sales in North Carolina. The resolution encourages North Carolina to keep the current Alcoholic Beverage Control system.
