The New Prohibition
{{#badges: Front groups}}
The New Prohibition is a front group operated by Berman & Co. Berman & Co. operates a network of dozens of front groups, attack-dog web sites, and alleged think tanks that work to counteract minimum wage campaigns, keep wages low for restaurant workers, and block legislation on food safety, secondhand cigarette smoke, drunk driving, and more.
The New Prohibition describes itself as "a special project of the American Beverage Institute (ABI)."[1]ABI claims its mission is to "promote responsible alcohol consumption."[2] However, its primary focus is actually opposing any lowering of the legal blood alcohol limit for drivers, and fighting smoking bans in bars.
According to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, The New Prohibition "attacks government agencies and activist groups opposed to drunk driving by absurdly claiming that they secretly want to revive Prohibition."[3]
