liquor license lets do small paragraphs of each license im guessing most will be the same [edited: 11:37 by user:fmitrofanov]

In Canada, liquor licenses are issued by the legal authority of each province to allow an individual or business to manufacture or sell alcohol beverages. Usually several types of liquor licenses are available for application within a certain province. There are many regulations which apply to all types of liquor license, for example, each license must indicate the time, place and the maximum amount of sale. License holders must strictly follow all the terms and rules to avoid suspension and revocation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WenjingJian ( talk • contribs) 02:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC) reply

The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) licences liquor activities in Alberta according to the Gaming and Liquor Act and Regulation, other provincial and federal legislation and AGLC policies.
The AGLC regulates Alberta’s liquor industry, which was privatized in 1993 enabling the private sector to retail, warehouse and distribute liquor in our province.
In Alberta, five classes of licences as well as a special event licence are issued for the sale and manufacture of liquor:

• General Liquor Licence Information
• Special Event licences (for private or public functions)
• Class A licences (for restaurants, lounges, etc.)
• Class B licences (for recreational facilities, etc.)
• Class C licences (for private clubs, canteens, etc.)
• Class D licences (for retail liquor stores, hotel 'off-sales', etc.), and
• Class E licences (for liquor manufacturing)

The British Columbia government regulates and monitors the liquor industry in this province to protect the public from the harm that may be caused by making and selling liquor or products that contain liquor. The B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) regulates liquor service in bars and restaurants, private liquor stores ,liquor manufacturers and importers, Ubrews and UVins (for personal liquor manufacturing) as well as liquor service at special occasion events. The Liquor Distribution Branch is responsible for the importation and distribution of liquor in B.C. and also operates government liquor stores.

Requirements for LCLB in order to sell liquor within the province of British Columbia:

• must be at least 19 years of age and a a resident of B.C., a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada.

Difficulties may encounter in renewing your license under Liquor Act:

• If you have held a liquor licence before, the LCLB will also look at your history as a liquor licensee. A poor history as a licensee may make it more difficult for you to qualify for an agent's licence to sell pr provide liquor at places (bars, restaurants) or events.

The territory of Quebec has its own specials laws concerning selling liquor and acquiring a liquor license. The Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux is in charge of liquor distribution and sets the laws on liquor consumption.The permits authorizing the sale or service of alcoholic beverages within the territory concerning liquor permits concluded between the Government and a Mohawk community are determined in the agreement and issued by the authority designated in the agreement. [1] For example, in Quebec all places that are able to receive a liquor license except grocery stores (available but until 11pm ) are able to operate every day, from 8 o’clock in the morning to 3 o’clock in the morning in selling liquor. [2]

user:fmitrofanov you guys are right about quebec there's barely any information all of it is in french and in forms, we could add this small paragraph but thats pretty much all.

In the United States, liquor licenses are issued separately by each individual state. Majority licenses are often specified by each state and localities that have laws and regulations in acquiring such a license. For example, in the state of Oregon, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission ^[15] (OLCC) regulates and controls the distribution, sales and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Otherwise, general categories that are covered under license laws include when and where liquor may be served, the amount that can be served, how much it may be served for, and to whom it may be served. Across United States it is very common to have further specified protocols in restaurants such as limits on drinks per customer, zero discounts on drinks, and to have unfinished bottles of wine to remain in the restaurant. Furthermore, there may be several choices of license classes depending on how one intends to sell the alcoholic beverages. The most common types of licenses used in restaurants include:

• Restaurant Liquor License: Known as the all liquor license, it is the most generally used license.

• Beer and Wine Liquor License: This is also categorized as a general liquor license, however it does not include any strong alcohols or spirits.

• Tavern Liquor License: This license is commonly used for restaurants that serve alcohol as well as food, but have 50% of their sales solely based on liquor.

It is important for wholesale liquor vendors in the United States to verify authenticity and validity of liquor licenses before selling because insurance companies do not cover claims related to alcohol if there is no valid liquor license involved.
