The three-tier system is the bedrock to the U.S. alcohol regulatory structure. The traditional three-tier system is an hourglass-like structure with producers at the top, funneling down to the wholesalers in the middle where tracking of tainted alcohol products and excise alcohol tax collection occurs, and then fanning back out to retailers who get the product to the consumer.
The three-tier system operates in the background ensuring product safety, tax collection and preventing market domination by restricting any one tier from having financial interest in another, a common practice in the pre-Prohibition era that led to aggressive sales tactics and heavy consumption. 

The three-tier system is necessary to regulate and control the production, distribution, and sale of alcohol in the United States, and to promote public safety and prevent the abuse of alcohol.
One of the primary reasons for the three-tier system is to prevent monopolies and promote fair competition in the alcohol industry. By requiring each tier to be independent of the other, the system helps to prevent producers from controlling distribution and retail sales, which could lead to higher prices for consumers and limit consumer choice.
Another reason for the three-tier system is to ensure that alcohol is sold and consumed responsibly. The system allows for better tracking and monitoring of the sale of alcohol, and helps to prevent minors from accessing alcohol.
