The purpose of the Act was to empower police officers to confiscate Alcoholic beverage alcohol from the possession of any minors under the age of 18. Previously only the purchase of alcohol was illegal by minors, and officers could take no action against a minor in possession of alcohol unless they were committing another offence.

The Act can also be applied to a person over 18 if the officer believes that the person intends to supply a minor with alcohol in their possession.

A major purpose of the Act was to allow for the replacement of the Susan B. Anthony dollar . The stockpiles of that coin had been depleted to the point that minting new coins would soon be required.
