Abstract

This paper describes a project examining the implementation and effectiveness of smart card technology (i.e., magnetic stripe) that is currently used on driver's licenses as a means to provide alcohol retailers with a simple, efficient, and reliable system for verifying the age of a customer as well as the authenticity of the identification. The overall objective of the system is to help prevent sales of alcoholic beverages to persons under 21 years of age so as to reduce alcohol-related problems among youth, particularly drinking and driving and alcohol-related crashes.
