Question: Your establishment's liquor license prohibits the sale of 'packaged liquor' for off-premise consumption. A patron orders a sealed 6-pack of local craft beer to take home. What is your responsibility?

Answer options: ✅ Refuse the sale, explaining that your license only permits on-premise consumption of alcohol.

• Sell the 6-pack, assuming 'packaged liquor' refers to spirits, not beer.
• Check with your manager if previous sales of similar items have occurred without issue.
• Sell the 6-pack, but advise the patron to consume it discreetly off-premises.

Correct answer: Refuse the sale, explaining that your license only permits on-premise consumption of alcohol.

Explanation: The term 'packaged liquor' typically refers to any alcohol sold in its original, sealed container for consumption off the licensed premises. If the establishment's license explicitly prohibits such sales, then selling a 6-pack of beer for take-home consumption would be a direct violation of liquor regulations. Your responsibility is to adhere strictly to the terms of your liquor license and refuse the sale. Assuming definitions or checking past practices are not valid reasons to violate license terms.
