The Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC) is a regulatory agency in various regions, responsible for overseeing the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Its main tasks include issuing licenses to restaurants and stores that sell alcohol, enforcing laws related to alcohol consumption, and ensuring public safety. The ABC also monitors advertising and promotional practices to prevent misuse and illegal sales, particularly to minors. By regulating these aspects, the Commission helps balance economic interests with public health and safety concerns regarding alcohol consumption in the community.
