ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) Agencies

Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) agencies are state or local government organizations responsible for regulating the sale, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. They set laws and licensing requirements to ensure alcohol is sold responsibly, prevent illegal activities, and promote public safety. ABC agencies also enforce compliance with alcohol-related laws, oversee licensing for retailers and distributors, and often collect taxes on alcohol sales. Their role helps balance commercial interests with community safety and health by establishing guidelines for responsible alcohol consumption and sales.
