Does access to liquor store contributes to alcohol use in lower socioeconomic status communities? I would say that it does. In lower socioeconomic areas there are people in places that are at high risks of disparity. Not only does alcohol effect individuals, but also families and innocent bystanders. Places that are low in socioeconomic status deal with outcomes that are not only in the moment transcends towards the future as well. There are many factors that show that alcohol does contribute bad elements to lower SES communities. Access to alcohol stores is an issue in how people are at risk due to the availability. There is a positive relationship between liquor stores and the range of problems at the community level. Liquor stores have a direct link to alcoholism that contributes to death, mortality, and disease. There are ways to view this problem and to create solutions and there is no easy fix.
