Alcohol Control Boards

Alcohol Control Boards are regulatory bodies established by some governments to manage the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Their main roles include setting rules for licensing retailers, monitoring alcohol sales, and promoting responsible drinking to reduce alcohol-related harms. These boards can establish minimum pricing, control where and when alcohol can be sold, and ensure compliance with laws. They aim to balance public health concerns with consumer access, often operating in jurisdictions that have stricter alcohol laws to manage consumption and mitigate social issues associated with excessive drinking.
