Alcohol Regulation and Licensing
Alcohol regulation and licensing refer to the laws and rules governing the production, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. These regulations vary by country and region and ensure that alcohol is sold responsibly, often setting age limits, hours of sale, and types of establishments allowed to sell alcohol. Licensing permits businesses to legally sell alcohol and may require adherence to health and safety standards. The aim is to prevent alcohol-related harm, ensure public safety, and promote responsible drinking while allowing businesses to operate within a controlled framework.
