Alcohol and Beverage Control

Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) agencies are government entities responsible for regulating the sale, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. They establish and enforce laws related to licensing bars, liquor stores, and restaurants, ensuring compliance with legal standards. ABC agencies also oversee age restrictions, limit sales hours, and monitor alcohol inventory to promote public safety and prevent illegal activities. Their goal is to balance commercial interests with public health and safety considerations, supporting responsible alcohol distribution while reducing related problems like underage drinking and alcohol abuse.
