It’s been a month since tougher drunk driving laws came into effect but it’s still unclear whether they’re impacting the hospitality industry.

As of September 1, drivers in the province caught with .05 to .08 blood alcohol levels risk losing their licenses and vehicles for three days.

Vice president of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association, Mark Von Schellwitz, says while there’s been a slight drop in liquor sales, its nothing significant.

The vice chair of the Alberta Liquor Store Association tells The Calgary Sun the losses are having a big impact in Calgary and have reached 15 to 20 per cent for some retailers.

Bob Richardson says they’ll have to wait and see what the long term effects of this law will be on the liquor industry in the province.
