Issue Presented You ask if the Town of Sardis may require a business to get an on-premise consumption ABC Liquor License from the ABC Commission under Section 67-1-7, despite not selling alcoholic beverages, in order to be able to sell beer and light wine for consumption at the same business? In other words, is the only state license required for a business to sell beer and light wine for consumption is one issued under Section 67-3-25? May a town require a license issued under Section 67-1-7 for the sale of beer and light wine in addition to the license issued under Section 67-3-25? 55O HIGH STREET - POST OFFICE BOX 220 - JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI 39205-0220 TELEPHONE (601) 359-3680 - FACSIMILE (601) 359-5025
