Liquor laws can often be a confusing jumble of regulations, often without a clear definition.

The definitions and types of penalties for an establishment’s failure to meet compliance laws are often simply left up to the discretion of a particular state’s liquor law enforcement arm.

Knowing that an infraction could lead to penalties ranging from a verbal warning to imprisonment can overwhelm the budding entrepreneur and put them in the position of failing to effectively obey a law they barely understand.

Compliance with the laws of the state in which you do business is simply not an option. That’s the bottom line.
