In this the liquor licensing act of 1997 clearly says that a restaurant who has obtained license to serve alcohol can do so freely without any trading limits only if it is accompanied by a meal. There are also certain exemptions to this and they are as follows.
A condition allows a person to consume liquor while not consuming a meal. For example, a group of people go into the premises and order a meal, however, two of them do not want to eat, but would like to have a glass of …show more content…

A person may bring liquor onto the licensed premises with the consent of the licensee to consume with or ancillary to a meal provided by the licensee on the licensed premises. The person can then take the unconsumed portion of that liquor from the premises when they leave. However any liquor sold or supplied by the licensee for consumption on the licensed premises must be consumed on the premises and cannot be removed from the premises. Corkage may be charged at a fee determined by the licensee. However, in some cases trading hours may be restricted by a condition on the license. Trading hours are usually subject to local council consents so it is better to check with your local council. A section 34(1)(c) authorization only allows trade (without a meal) until midnight Monday to Saturday or between 11 am and 8 pm on a Sunday, unless the license also has an extended trading authorization. This authorization cannot operate on Good Friday or Christmas Day. Other

  • Selling Liquor in Dry Towns

    393 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the article Applebee’s was quoted saying that 14.1 percent of their sales came from alcoholic beverages. That is all most a 1/4 of their gross profit. That can help a restaurant either succeed or fail. The restaurants do not want to take that chance if they can not sell liquor. The article says they want family restaurants like Applebee’s to buy the licenses. The restaurants know there would be some restrictions on the license, such as, no sales after midnight and so fourth. But how many families go out to eat at midnight? The restrictions a reasonable ones. The towns want the restaurants to move in and stop the slumping area from going down any more. The idea that only restaurants having the licenses is a good one. If the town gave the licenses to any business,11 bars could move in. It seems that, the more bars there are in one location, the more problems the towns face. People are there all day and night drinking.

    The Eighteenth Amendment did not stop people from making, selling, and/or drinking alcohol. They would pretty much do everything underground, you don’t think that will happen now too. A drinking license is just like the Eighteenth Amendment, a underground situation will startle up back into problem. Drinking may be a problem to some but there’s nothing that can be change 100%, there will always be something to ban or to make it a privilege, no one is perfect everyone has their

  • Underage Drinking: Enforcing The Drinking Age

    1155 Words  | 3 Pages

    For decades, certain people have been contemplating on how to go about the issue of underage drinking; people of the government, parents, and other individuals concerned in global affairs. The problem is, the issue of underage drinking and the nationwide ineffectiveness of the drinking age law of twenty-one isn't debated and discussed as much and as aggressively as it should be. And the main components of discussion ought to be the matter of binge drinking among teenagers and college students, drinking issues and statistics in foreign countries, and finally, possible solutions for this problem. The main point is that the states of our country can only attempt to enforce the law rather than try approaching the problem in any other way. So for that reason, states should be allowed to figure out and experiment on possible ways to solve this matter on their own without government interference.

  • Why Regulate Alcohol Distribution?

    884 Words  | 2 Pages

    Beginning after Prohibition, which was the period from 1920 to 1933, during which the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol was banned nationally, the three-tier alcohol distribution system was created. This tier system determined how alcohol was to be manufactured and distributed in the United States and to other countries. State and federal laws require that in general alcohol including, wine, beer and spirits made by licensed producers first be sold to licensed distributors and then to licensed retailers before reaching the hands of the consumers. Without the three-tier system in place, the manufacturing and distribution of alcohol would be chaotic and unorganized in the United States and in other countries.

  • The Minimum Legal Drinking Age

    1713 Words  | 4 Pages

    Bob Marley once said, “Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.” This is the case when it comes to teens and alcohol. In America, the National Minimum Legal Drinking Age is a topic of great debate and controversy. Many people argue that the age restriction provides a safe environment for all citizens; whereas others disagree that the law creates an untrustworthy aura among teens. If the minimum legal drinking age were to be lowered, most people would be affected by it, whether it be by an increase in drunk-driving or a rise in crimes. Although teens are legally considered adults by the age of eighteen and the minimum legal drinking age prompts underage teens to exhibit risky behavior, the age restriction should not be lowered from twenty-one to eighteen because young teens would have easier access to alcohol, the minimum legal drinking age has decreased alcohol-related problems, and alcohol can cause damage to underage drinkers.

  • Arguments for and against Lowering the Drinking Age

    In fact, the state and federal laws for consuming alcohol are different. “The federal law requires states to prohibit purchase and public possession of alcoholic beverages [for people under the age of 21]. Contrary to belief, it does not require prohibition of minors from drinking alcoholic beverages” (Minimum). This means that the severity of restrictions depend on what state you live in. For example, residents of Missouri have some of the most lax alcohol consumption laws in the country. It is one of six states that allow parents and guardians to provide alcohol to their children (Missouri). However, the lucky Kansans out there have it a little differently. Kansas’ law states that no one under the age of 21 can “possess, consume, obtain, purchase, or attempt to obtain or purchase alcoholic liquor” (Kansas).

  • Alcohol and its effects

    1478 Words  | 3 Pages

    Alcohol is a large part of American culture. All over the United States drinking is not only acceptable but a social norm from teenagers to adults. This is not only the case in the U.S., but all over the world, where some drinking ages are 18 and 19 years of age. In America specifically, alcohol has been around for centuries and is a large part of many social gatherings. Although this is the case now, in the early 1900’s during the prohibition period, all alcohol was banned and deemed illegal to possess. Even though illegal, the task was just too heavy and alcohol was too much a common practice for most Americans. As time went on the prohibition period ended and the laws were revoked, making it legal again to possess alcohol. The drinking related problems that were around during prohibition pale in comparison to the problems alcohol has caused since then.

    No matter your age alcohol is always accessible to you worldwide. In some countries people can be 16 and up to drink or even buy alcohol, however here in America people have to 21 and up to buy alcohol but many liquor stores break this law. They sell to any one such as people with fake ids, no ids or real ids. It doesn’t matter who they sell it to as long as they making money. Now a day’s people are greedy and would do anything for money. We also have some liquor stores who follow the law but because teenagers want to grow up fast, they will find adults outside or even a family member to buy them alcohol. You may ask how do I know all this? Well for example me and my friends were one of those teens who would always find a way to get alcohol but of course our family wouldn’t buy it for us though. We even paid someone to buy it for us a couple of times, other
