Quality Control and Service
In 1933, following passage of the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitutionrepealing Prohibition, North Carolina voted to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages underlocal control. In 1935, the first county owned and operatedAlcohol Beverage Control (ABC)store was opened in Wilson County establishing a control system in the state unlike anyother in the country.
In 1937, the State ABC Commission consisting of three members appointed by thegovernor was established to ensure that the laws and regulations governing the sale ofalcoholic beverages were enforced. Through continued modernization and streamliningprocesses, the present Commission is committed to meeting the goals initially established70 years ago, while meeting the demands of a rapidly growing and changing state.
In the past decade, North Carolina has seen case shipments of spirituous liquorfrom the State ABC Warehouse increase by 30%. This growth required the installation of aracking system this fiscal year to better manage space and continue to offer a goodselection of products for the local ABC boards. Additionally, we have seen rapid growth inwine production with 48 wineries establishing residence in North Carolina. These wineriesharvested 3500 tons of grapes last year, which netted 400,000 cases of wine and rankedNorth Carolina 12th in the country in wine production.
As you will see throughout this publication, the ABC system generated significantrevenue for the state of North Carolina in 2005. We envision this growth will continue andthe ABC Commission looks forward to the challenges of regulating a contemporary andprofitable control system next year. The Commission will continue encouragingresponsible alcohol practices within the retail and commercial ABC industry and isconfident that it can balance the needs of a changing business climate while protecting thepublic welfare.
Best Regards,
DouglasA. Fox

Organizational Structure
North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission
In 1935 the North Carolina Legislature authorized the Governor to appoint a commissionto study the question of control of alcoholic beverages for the purpose of makingrecommendations to the 1937 General Assembly. The commission examined two types ofcontrol under which spirituous liquor was being sold in other states, one being represented by aState Licensing system and the other by a State Monopoly system. After careful study, theAlcoholic Beverage Control bill was submitted to the General Assembly of 1937, and with a fewchanges a monopoly system was enacted into law. The Control Act provided for theestablishment of a State Board of Control consisting of a Chairman and two associate memberswho would be appointed by the Governor of the State.
The State Board of Control is today known as the North Carolina Alcoholic BeverageControl Commission. The Control Act provides for a local option plan under which no county orcity in the State would be required to sell alcohol unless first approved by the voters. TheCommission has the authority to administer the ABC laws, set the prices of alcoholic beveragessold in local ABC stores, determine the brands of alcoholic beverages sold in the state, issueABC permits, impose sanctions against permittees and adopt rules to carry out the provisions oftheABC laws.

2 Control Service Revenue Since 1935
Control States
Control States
It is the mission of the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA) to supportand benefit alcohol control systems by providing research, fostering relationships, and managingresources to address policy for the responsible sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Established in 1937, NABCA is the national association representing the Control States -those political jurisdictions that directly control the distribution and sale of beverage alcohol withintheir borders.
Headquartered in the Washington, DC area, NABCA serves its members as an informationclearinghouse and as liaison to federal, state and local governments, research and advocacygroups, the alcohol beverage industry, and other organizations impacting alcohol policy.
Management of the Association is vested in its Board of Directors with one director from eachof the voting member Control Jurisdictions and a President elected by the Board annually. Day-to-day administration is the responsibility of a full-time Executive Director and staff.
While the Control State systems were founded upon a common principle of market control,the exercise of that control has come to vary from state to state. Some now control only at wholesale;others have retained control at retail exclusively through government-operated stores; and somecontrol the sale of wine, as well as distilled spirits. Sale prices, customer service policies andoperating procedures also vary.
Those objectives have evolved over the past seven decades, as public attitudes towarddrinking have changed and as the demand for state revenues has increased. In response, theControl State systems have transitioned from their origins as ‘dispensaries of last resort’ to their roletoday as efficient, consumer-oriented service agencies.
The Control State systems have focused on achieving the delicate balance of responding tocustomer concerns; generating revenue for valuable and necessary state programs; improving theoverall safety of communities through education, regulation and enforcement; and providing qualityservice to their customers.

ABC Board Financial Highlights
Spirituous Liquor Revenues Top 10 Most ProfitableABC Boards
Michael C. HerringAdministrator
“The local ABC Boards in North Carolinacompleted another record year of spirituousliquor sales in 2005 which netted the stateover $147 million in Tax revenues and nettedlocal governments over $48 million in profitdistributions.”
During the Legislative Session of 1935, itbecame apparent that many sections of the Statewere dissatisfied with North Carolina’s existingprohibition law. Before the session was over,legislation had been passed permitting 17 of the100 counties in the state to break away from theprohibition system and set up control ABC storesfor the legalized sale of whiskey within theircounties if passed by local referendums.
The first ABC store to open afterprohibition was in Wilson County on July 2, 1935.In the same year, stores opened in Beaufort,Craven, Edgecombe, Greene, Halifax, Lenior,Mart in, Nash, New Hanover, Onslow,Pasquotank, Pitt, Vance and Warren counties.Today, there are approximately 396 storesthroughout the state.
From the time Prohibition was repealed in1935 to present, the legal sale of spirituous liquorhas provided the State of North Carolina GeneralFund with over $2.6 billion in taxes.
It has also provided over $1 billion inprofits to local City and County general funds,$207 million for alcohol education andrehabilitation, and $142 million to local lawenforcement agencies.

ABC Warehouse Operations
LB&B Associates Inc.
North Carolina has a state-owned centrally located warehouse in Raleigh, dedicated andnamed after Marvin L. Speight, Jr. Speight was Chairman of the North Carolina AlcoholicBeverage Control Commission from 1977 to 1985 and again from 1993 to 1996. He wasinstrumental in securing support and financing in the early 1980’s for the construction of the presentABC Complex.
The administrative oversight of the State Warehouse is the responsibility of the ABCCommission, which contracts with a privately owned services company, currently, LB&BAssociates, for the receipt, storage and distribution of spirituous liquor throughout the entire state.
The Warehouse operates under a bailment system, in which the ownership of the productremains with the distillery until it is delivered to the local ABC Boards. The State of North Carolinahas no public monies invested in spirituous liquor. The local ABC Boards pay the contractor’s feesfor the spirituous liquor indirectly. The fee, called “bailment charge”,” (currently 90 cents per case)is part of the mark-up formula of spirituous liquor and pays for the warehousing and delivery of theliquor to the local boards.
Inventory in the 200,000 square foot warehouse varies throughout the year. On average350,000 cases are maintained at any given time. The corresponding value will vary from $25million to $35 million.
There are currently 65 Distillers and nine (9) Distiller Brokerages representing 857 differentbrands with 1,612 actual product items available to be ordered.
In addition to distributing liquor to the localABC stores , the warehouse contractor also shipsproduct to several military bases in our state. In the 2004 calendar year, 3,806,924 cases wereshipped and for 2005 the projected shipments will exceed four (4) million cases.
The top five (5) spirits shipped this year wereAristocrat Supreme Vodka, Seagram Extra DryGin, Smirnoff Vodka, Seagram Crown Royal Canadian, and Burnett’s Vodka, accounting for571,517 cases sold this year.
