ABC Licensing

ABC Licensing refers to the system used by state authorities, often known as the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) agency, to regulate the sale, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. It involves issuing licenses to businesses, such as bars, restaurants, and stores, allowing them to legally sell alcohol. The licensing process ensures compliance with laws regarding alcohol service, age restrictions, and operating hours. Essentially, ABC Licensing helps maintain public safety and order by controlling who can sell alcohol and under what conditions.
