What does the term "premises" refer to in the context of alcohol beverage control?

In the context of alcohol beverage control, the term "premises" encompasses all areas that are under the control of the permittee through legal means. This includes both indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as any additional areas designated for the sale or consumption of alcohol as outlined in the licensed agreement. This definition ensures that all sections of a licensed property, where alcohol-related activities occur, are governed by the same regulations and oversight, promoting responsible service and compliance with the law.

Recognizing that "premises" includes all areas managed by the permittee allows for clearer enforcement of laws regarding alcohol distribution and consumption, including zoning laws, health regulations, and specific permit conditions.
