I had the privilege and the pleasure of attending the national meeting of the National Conference of State Liquor Administrators this past week in Nashville, TN.  One of the often discussed topics at this conference and others like it is the proliferation of general or targeted adverstising on twitter, myspace, facebook and even youtube by all tiers of the Beverage Alcohol and Hospitality Industry.  Regulators nation wide are taking note of the existence of the advertising on these sites.  One example specifically mentioned during the conference was a video posted on youtube which documented several bars in Indiana which were easy to get into for minors.  I thought this was an interesting example.  Those estabshlisments were likely subjected to compliance checks and most likely did not prefer to be the receipients such advertising.  Business should be aware that with the advent of video posting from cell phones, most anything in public view could end up on youtube or a similar site.  If you have any questions regarding this post or any others, feel free to contact us.
