Alcohol Licensing Act

The Alcohol Licensing Act is a law that regulates the sale, supply, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. It requires businesses that sell alcohol, such as pubs, restaurants, and stores, to obtain a license from the authorities. The Act sets rules to ensure alcohol is sold responsibly, including restrictions on sales hours, age limits, and licensing conditions to prevent misuse and promote public safety. It also gives local authorities the power to grant, refuse, or revoke licenses based on community impact and compliance with laws. Overall, it aims to balance commercial interests with public health and safety.
