Alcohol licensing system changes and alcohol consumption: introduction of wine into New Zealand grocery stores
1Minnesota School of Public Health, Minneapolis 55454-1015, USA.
Abstract:
New Zealand permitted grocery stores to sell table wine products beginning April 1990 with the implementation of a new Sale of Liquor Act. The number of licensed outlets for retail sales of wine for consumption off-premises increased substantially. Using an interrupted multiple time-series design with nation-wide quarterly alcohol sales data from 1983 to 1993, we assessed the effects of the policy change on sales of wine. Results from Box-Jenkins time-series models revealed a 17% increase in wine sales associated with the introduction of wine grocery stores. Increased sales were limited to the specific category of alcoholic beverages permitted in grocery stores--table wine. Sales of fortified wine, distilled spirits and beer did not increase. We conclude that expansion in retail availability of wine is associated with increased sales and consumption.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and phenols...
Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...

Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...
