Safe Alcohol Sales Happen 95% of the Time in Lilburn

The City of Lilburn compliance check results are in for March 2015!

Local businesses support the City of Lilburn by providing their services to citizens, paying taxes and much more. The businesses that sell and/or serve alcohol also support the community by training their employees NOT to sell alcohol to minors or overserve adults who are already intoxicated. By conducting the trainings and teaching their employees how to correctly check IDs and be aware of the signs of someone who is intoxicated, these businesses are making sure that our community is healthier and safer.

Alcohol damages teenagers’ and young adults’ developing brains by impacting their memory and learning. Studies have also shown that one of the last parts of development and maturation in the human brain takes place in the prefrontal cortex, which specializes in reasoning and judgment. This means that those who drink alcohol make poorer choices, which can have severe individual and community consequences; these may include driving under the influence or participating in activities that can cause injuries to themselves and others.

We applaud and thank the 95% of alcohol retailers in the City of Lilburn who did not sell alcohol to an underage decoy during the latest compliance checks. The following local businesses continue to make our community healthier and safer:
