Liquor Control Board

The Liquor Control Board refers to a government agency responsible for regulating the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Its main functions include issuing licenses to retailers, ensuring compliance with laws related to alcohol sales, and promoting responsible drinking. This board aims to minimize health risks associated with alcohol consumption and prevent illegal activities, such as underage drinking. In many regions, it controls the pricing and availability of liquor, often operating state-run stores to manage the distribution of alcohol, thereby balancing public health interests with consumer access.
