Regulation in the Party Bus Industry and Evidence on Poisonous Whiskey

A tragic incident in Nashville involving a party bus led to calls for regulation in the industry, mainly driven by physical bar owners aiming to eliminate competition from bar trolleys. However, evidence suggests that the involvement of poisonous ingredients in whiskey was not widespread, as historical whiskey recipe books and newspaper reports indicated minimal cases of poison-related deaths. Additionally, the rise of individual bottling was a response to consumer fears and served as a means to reassure customers of the whiskey's safety, shifting away from a complex intermediary process.
