What You Need To Know To Operate Legally
Selling alcohol in North Carolina is a serious responsibility. Failure to comply with state laws and regulations can result in fines, suspensions, revocation of permit(s) and even criminal charges.

Happy Hour Regulations
Although North Carolina does not really have a "happy hour" there are several legal activities in which your business may engage.

Advertising
North Carolina has very strict advertising regulations when it comes to alcohol. Find out which advertising is allowed and prohibited.

ABC Violations - The Hearing Process
Most businesses operate within the laws and regulations, however you may be cited for a violation someday. Knowing what your rights are as a business owner can help you through the hearing process and assist you in determining a course of action.

Underage Minor Campaigns (Stings)
A tool used by many law enforcement agencies to determine if businesses are selling alcohol to underage persons is the "minor campaign" or "sting". There is often confusion as to the reason(s) this enforcement tool is used and what constitutes "entrapment".
