Alcoholic Beverage Control

Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) refers to the regulations and laws governing the sale, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. These laws are typically enforced by state agencies in the United States, which issue licenses to businesses selling alcohol and ensure compliance with safety and legal standards. ABC laws help manage issues related to underage drinking, public health, and community welfare. The primary aim is to balance individual freedoms with the responsibility to protect the public from alcohol-related harm, ensuring that businesses operate legally while promoting safe environments for consumers.
