American Beverage Licensees

American Beverage Licensees decribes itself on its website as "an association representing off-premise licensees in the "open" or "license" states and on-premise proprietors in markets across the nation. ABL was created in 2002 after the merger of the National Association of Beverage Retailers (NABR) and the National Licensed Beverage Association (NLBA)."

ABL was represented in 2002 by lobbyist Rick Berman, the president of PR company Berman & Co..

In February 2005 Berman announced a campaign aimed at persuading General Motors to drop its financial support for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
