Study looking at online alcohol sales to minors

Published: January 12, 2009
North Carolina researchers want to know how easily teenagers and underage adults can buy alcohol online, and they're recruiting students to help find out.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will begin a $400,000 study later this year to determine if students aged 18 though 20 can buy wine, liquor and beer through Web sites.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports Monday that some Web sites appear to require only a mouse click asserting the buyer is at least 21.
All participants will be under academic and legal supervision. They also will be given immunity by prosecutors.
The study is being run by the same researchers who did a similar study on cigarette sales that helped put a major dent in online sales to minors earlier this decade.
