Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC)

Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) refers to the regulatory framework and agencies that govern the sale, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. These controls include licensing for businesses that sell alcohol, setting age restrictions for consumers, and enforcing laws to prevent alcohol abuse. ABC laws vary by state and country, influencing how alcohol is marketed and sold. The goal is to promote responsible drinking, minimize alcohol-related harm, and ensure public safety. ABC agencies also provide education and resources to help communities understand the effects of alcohol and the importance of responsible consumption.
