Atlantic City: It was once home to a diving horse.

Now it is the home to the National Conference of State Liquor Administrators 2018 Northern/Southern Regional Conference. With the theme of "The Times, They are A-Changing: The 21st Amendment in the 21st Century", the Conference will take advantage of Atlantic City’s gorgeous white beach, amazing restaurants, and vibrant nightlife to enliven the world of Alcoholic Beverage policy. Held at the Borgata Casino and Spa, you can attend a stimulating discussion on the challenges brought by technological advances to the alcoholic beverage industry, or how to create partnerships between regulators and the regulated. Of course, a day of presentations and learning can be followed by a visit to the world famous casinos.

The Division of ABC is pleased to host this conference and show you how, in New Jersey, things are always changing for the better.

In the face of California's terrible ordeal, our thoughts are with not only the wineries, but more importantly, their employees, families, friends, and neighbors. In our deepest prayers, we hope for the safety of all affected.

Yes, it’s a Thursday. But that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate National Beer Lovers Day by enjoying a refreshing New Jersey craft brew or stopping at anyone of our great restaurants or your local bar. And remember, if you do celebrate, make sure you have a safe ride home.

Did you know that in colonial America, hard cider often served as a form of currency? We don't issue licenses to print money, but . . . . . .
