alcohol sales

Selling intoxicating beverages

Alcohol sales refers to the commercial selling of beer, wine, spirits, and other alcoholic beverages.

The term appears most often in legal and regulatory contexts, where alcohol sales are subject to licensing requirements, age restrictions, and time-of-day limitations: The city council voted to extend alcohol sales until 2 a.m.

Alcohol sales are prohibited on Sundays in some counties.
