Members from all three tiers of the industry united for the “No Excuses” effort, which drew support from New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo and featured other launch events in Albany, Buffalo and Rochester.  Speaking at the launch event on behalf of FAAR member companies, Chevlin thanked all of the industry partners for their support. “We all share a common mission –ensuring that beverage alcohol is consumed responsibly, which means NOT to the underage.”  He added, ”We will be watching the results of this program with great interest, as we believe it may be a best practice model that could be implemented in other states.”
