Supercharging Hemp Beverage Regulation
Hemp-derived beverages, especially low-dose THC and CBD seltzers, have surged into mainstream retail faster than most statutes, rules, and enforcement playbooks can keep up. For state and provincial liquor regulators, the result is a messy compliance conundrum: products that may be non-alcoholic yet intoxicating, stocked next to beer in some jurisdictions, prohibited in others, and often governed by a patchwork of cannabis, food, and liquor laws. The core challenge isn’t simply a question of, “Is this legal?” It’s also a question of, “Who regulates what, where, and with which tools?”

We also outlines strategic recommendations for U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions to plan, budget, and implement an ABC workflow automation project effectively.
Top Technology Concerns for North American Liquor Control Agencies & Regulators
Liquor control agencies and regulators in North America face increasingly complex challenges due to evolving technologies, changes in consumer behaviors, and the shifting regulatory landscape. These agencies are tasked with ensuring public health, safety, and legal compliance while fostering economic growth within the alcohol industry. As technology becomes more integrated into the liquor control systems, these agencies must address various issues ranging from data management to cybersecurity. Based on publicly available government planning and budget documentation, the following analysis identifies and ranks the top five technology issues that North American liquor control agencies and regulators are currently prioritizing.
Training Technologies Crucial in Ever Evolving Alcohol Market
In an era marked by evolving alcohol legislation, increasing consumer demands, and heightened public safety concerns, state alcohol regulatory agencies are placing greater emphasis on education and training as tools to ensure responsible beverage service and liquor code compliance. Regulators are not only adapting to traditional challenges—such as underage drinking and over-service—but are also grappling with emerging complexities stemming from the growth of e-commerce alcohol sales, cannabis cross-promotion, social media marketing, and more sophisticated fraud. As a result, training priorities and technology tools are shifting dramatically across jurisdictions to align with these trends.
Overcoming the Growing Challenges of Direct-to-Consumer Sales (DTC)
To empower regulators to overcome these compliance challenges while simultaneously equipping producers to expand their market reach, alcoholic beverage control agencies are increasingly turning to modern ABC software systems as a long-term solution for managing DTC and cross-border shipping issues.
