Which of the following statements accurately describes the purpose of a liquor license?

To allow the sale of food alongside alcohol
To regulate the distribution and sale of alcohol
To collect taxes from alcohol sales
To provide funding for public events

The correct answer is: To regulate the distribution and sale of alcohol

The purpose of a liquor license primarily revolves around regulating the distribution and sale of alcohol. This regulation ensures that establishments follow the legal requirements and safety standards necessary for selling alcoholic beverages. By mandating that businesses obtain a liquor license, authorities can monitor compliance with laws and reduce the risks associated with alcohol consumption, including underage drinking, over-serving, and contributing to public safety concerns. While other options mention relevant aspects such as food sales or tax collection, they do not capture the core function of a liquor license. Food sales can happen without the need for a liquor license, and while taxes from alcohol sales are important for government revenue, they are not the license's primary goal. Providing funding for public events does not align with the main intent of licensing, which focuses on ensuring a controlled and responsible alcohol market.
