Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC)

Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) refers to government regulations and agencies responsible for overseeing the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. This includes licensing establishments that sell alcohol, enforcing laws related to its distribution, and ensuring public safety. ABC agencies implement rules about the age of consumers, hours of sale, and permits for events serving alcohol. Their main goals are to reduce alcohol-related issues, promote responsible drinking, and maintain order in communities. The specific rules and structure can vary by state or country, reflecting local laws and cultural attitudes toward alcohol.
