When you're a restaurant, and you run ads in the newspaper and food is never mentioned, there are concerns about that." — The Review, University of Delaware, May 11, 2001
  • "At these prices you can binge drink for $1.25. You can't even buy bottled water for $1.25. Selling cheap alcohol to college students is a growth industry in our town right now." — The News Journal, Wilmington, Delaware, April 18, 2001
  • "With the University of Delaware and colleges, the struggle is with the culture of drinking and the social scene. If all we try to do is suppress demand, we're not going to get much progress." — The News Journal, Wilmington, Delaware, December 31, 2001

  • "It's very difficult to deal with alcohol if all you do is focus on the interest that students have in drinking. Students represent the demand for alcohol. The supply of alcohol is something provided by the community."  — The Review, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware, May 4, 2001
  • "My fear is that if Main Street is dominated by low-priced alcohol, what we will attract to Main Street are people looking for low-cost alcohol. I don't think that's what we want to do." — The Review, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware, February 13, 2001
