  "The N.C. Substance Abuse Prevention Providers Association, as well as prevention advocates across the state, had hoped that some of the revenue from the increase in the alcohol tax would go to preventing underage drinking," said Phillip Mooring, executive director of Families in Action and a certified addictions specialist. "It is unfortunate that did not happen."
  
  "Certainly the tax increase on alcohol will generate revenue for North Carolina, but according to a study by Columbia University, for every $1 collected in alcohol tax, we spend $8.95 dealing with the consequences of problems related to the sale of alcohol," he added.
  ...
  Even so, Mooring is committed to keep trying.
  
  "We will continue to work with the General Assembly to protect our children and families. We just want to see reasonable and responsible tax increases on alcohol," he said.
