Canada
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)

Alberta
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)

British Columbia
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.

Quebec
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. 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.

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.

United States
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 (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. Duroshay.brohi (talk) 03:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

New York
The New York State Liquor Authority(SLA) and the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control(ABC) are responsible for regulating and controlling the manufacture and distribution of alcoholic beverages within New York State.

The main responsibilities of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control include reviewing and investigating applicants to determine eligibility, issuing and limiting the number and type of licenses and regulating trade of alcoholic beverages at wholesale and retail.

The SLA and the ABC state that the minimum requirements for liquor license eligibility are:

California
The Department of Alcoholic Beverage (ABC) in California was established in 1955. California ABC has the power to issue, deny, suspend or revoke any specific alcoholic beverage license. The department has three divisions: administration, licensing and compliance and each division has specific responsibilities.

The types of retail licenses in California are:


 * On-Sale General: licensing the sale of all types of alcoholic beverages.
 * Off-Sale General: licensing the sale of all types of alcoholic beverages in sealed containers for consumption off the premises.
 * On-Sale Beer and Wine: licensing the sale of all types of wine and malt beverages.
 * Off-Sale Beer and Wine: licensing the sale of all types of wine and malt beverages in sealed containers for consumption off the premises.
 * On-Sale Beer: licensing the sale of malt beverages.

Hey guys! Phil's idea sounds good! I'm now working on an intro which includes basic information and definitions. And also, since this topic is under "American and Canadian law" category, maybe we can focus more on these two countries. WenjingJian (talk)

Lolcat999 (talk) 00:40, 24 March 2012 (UTC) Hello all. Looks like you are getting started on the edits. Good. Just posting to let you know that Duroshay has joined your group. I have added her to your team. Originally she was supposed to be with Marco, Fil and Ben, but Ben was already signed up with another group and Fil signed up with you guys, so there it is. Please welcome her. Thanks. ---RachelM

WenjingJian (talk) 04:28, 25 March 2012 (UTC) Found a sample of liquor license in Washington State, U.S.A.,not sure if it's a good idea to use it. Link: http://liq.wa.gov/enforcement/required-signs

WenjingJian (talk) 05:17, 26 March 2012 (UTC) just updated a paragraph under the "Canada" subtitle. Can someone please proofread it?

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 02:01, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Hey guys! Just wanted to add a greeting, i'll get started on the editing. Are we dividing the sections up?

WenjingJian (talk) 00:24, 27 March 2012 (UTC) Hi Duroshay，it will be great if you can do some research on liquor license in the U.S.

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 02:01, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Alright i'll have that done.

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 02:01, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Is anyone working on the age requirements or can I work on that?

WenjingJian (talk) 21:33, 27 March 2012 (UTC) Yea, i think you can work on that, but so far i can hardly find any information about "age requirements". They have age requirements to SELL liquor?

duroshay.brohi (talk) Hah! Yeah you're right, I couldn't find too much information either.

WenjingJian (talk) 02:34, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Just saw a comment in the liquor license talk page, saying that the original article, especially the U.S section "reads like an advertisement"

Youilove1 (talk) Youilove1 (talk) 04:33, 28 March 2012 (UTC) now im researching the provinces

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 02:01, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Hey! So I've put together some information about U.S and I'm editing it on Word. I'll post it after proofreading it once again tomorrow morning, and then move onto one of the provinces. Also, I think we should all check in once Thursday morning before emailing everything!

WenjingJian (talk) 00:21, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Phil, have you finished your part yet? Please reply.

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 02:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Is Alberta the only province we're doing?

Youilove1 (talk) 01:06, 29 March 2012 (UTC) i think, it is too many....can you just do countries??

Youilove1 (talk) 01:12, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

subtopics how about this??
 * Canada / United States of America
 * Provider of license ( i.e liquor licences act )
 * Age requirements
 * Special case's

Youilove1 (talk) 01:24, 29 March 2012 (UTC) In the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States), liquor licences are issued by each state. Each city and localities may also have laws and regulations in acquiring such licence.

Youilove1 (talk) 01:27, 29 March 2012 (UTC) so.....we can not research 50 states........

WenjingJian (talk) 01:33, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Hi Duroshay, have you posted your paragraph yet?

WenjingJian (talk) 01:44, 29 March 2012 (UTC)I'm working on application requirements in Canada.

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 02:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Nope not yet, i'm trying to put together more info just because I feel like we should make it a little longer.. can we all check in tomorrow around 12 just to confirm all the edits?

WenjingJian (talk) 02:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Try to finish it tonight, coz i'm afraid there wont be enough time for us to organize the whole article,take screen shots, make cover page and stuffs.Plus we have tutorial on 1pm tomorrow. Please keep checking this talk page to stay in touch. :)

WenjingJian (talk) 02:04, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Oh and i have taken screenshots of the original page already.

Youilove1 (talk) 02:08, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Rather than having two headings, we now have two subheading under Canada. Personally I think it looks much better. Looks like a wikipedia page

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 02:16, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Should we include a picture?

Youilove1 (talk) 02:19, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Sure! we can, it's good idea!

WenjingJian (talk) 02:28, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Guys, your First Name, Last Name and student # please? It's for the cover page.

WenjingJian (talk) 02:46, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Are we supposed to edit on the User page or the talk page? @@

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 02:48, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Yeah I'll add that once im done the whole paragraph! And sorry about that i'll edit on the talk page before posting it on the user page! I'll fix that!

WenjingJian (talk) 02:48, 29 March 2012 (UTC)I already did :)

Youilove1 (talk) 02:58, 29 March 2012 (UTC) brohi, you have to type four swung dash(?) before or after you post :)

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 03:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC) hows that ;)

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 03:22, 29 March 2012 (UTC) For the picture, should I just pick something from google?

WenjingJian (talk) 03:23, 29 March 2012 (UTC)I found this http://liq.wa.gov/enforcement/required-signs  But have no idea how to put it up.

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 03:27, 29 March 2012 (UTC) I'll try to figure it out! Also I added a reference to the LLBO link.. check it out!

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 03:34, 29 March 2012 (UTC) It's a little confusing but I think i know how. However, I cant save that image and also I'm not sure we're allowed to use it.

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 03:45, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Youilove1 have you got information on texas or should I complete that?

Youilove1 (talk) 04:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Duroshay, that would be great. thank you!

Fmitrofanov (talk) 12:02, 29 March 2012 (UTC) hey i added sources to all of canada's agencies, now gonna work on each one separately let me know if some1 wants to work on one. Filip Mitrofanov 996341640, btw who is working on the cover page?

WenjingJian (talk) 04:14, 29 March 2012 (UTC)I'm working on the cover page.

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 04:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Are we doing all the provinces?

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 04:27, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Also, doesn't it have to be in our words to some extent or am I mistaken?

Youilove1 (talk) 04:33, 29 March 2012 (UTC) That's what I've been doing but I am wondering if it is okay since we are referencing it?

WenjingJian (talk) 04:39, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Phil says he's gonna put those information in a paragraph later..

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 04:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Ive been writing in my own words other then the edits I did under United States and a few bullet points but those are referenced.. also are we doing all the provinces?

WenjingJian (talk) 04:45, 29 March 2012 (UTC)yea im having the same question.. and looks like we are not "editing"..

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 04:48, 29 March 2012 (UTC) :P I think we should stick to a couple of provinces, we've completed Ontario and Alberta and Phil is working on B.C, maybe 1 or 2 more should be sufficient. What do you guys think?

Youilove1 (talk) 04:52, 29 March 2012 (UTC)In Canada- Ontario, B.C, Alberta, and Quebec and In USA- California, N.Y, and Texas. If we do all the province then we have to do 50 States!!!

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 04:54, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Yeah I was thinking Quebec should be the last as well! But I took a quick look and there is more info on liquor licensing in Sask compared to Quebec

WenjingJian (talk) 04:58, 29 March 2012 (UTC)i'm doing Manitoba.. need few more minutes.

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 05:05, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Manitoba will be our 4th!

Youilove1 (talk) 05:10, 29 March 2012 (UTC)So then in Canada, we have Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba. Do we need a Sask? I think it's enough ;)

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 05:14, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Ill do a quick summary for sask! Few minutes

WenjingJian (talk) 05:38, 29 March 2012 (UTC)maybe we should provide a short description for each reference we use in the "REFERENCE" section? I just saw people do that for their page.

WenjingJian (talk) 05:43, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Start posting our paragraphs to the user page :)

Youilove1 (talk) 05:45, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Can we delete the U.K?

WenjingJian (talk) 05:49, 29 March 2012 (UTC)there's a wiki page called"alcohol licensing laws of the united kingdom", gonna add that in the"See also" section maybe. Should we delete the UK part of the original article now?

WenjingJian (talk) 05:49, 29 March 2012 (UTC)By the way where's the Alberta paragraph??

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 05:50, 29 March 2012 (UTC) I added it! And just finished Sask!

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 05:54, 29 March 2012 (UTC) I think we should all read through the whole page just to look for small edits here and there! Do we have someone emailing the TA?

WenjingJian (talk) 05:57, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Phil supposed to do that, he's the spokesperson..but he's disappeared again.. so maybe i'll do that. Duroshay could you do the proofreading please?

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 05:58, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Absolutely! :)

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 06:09, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Alright i've gone over it once again and fixed a few minor errors. I have taken out BC from the user page for now just so it doesn't look incomplete and Phil can add that in once he is finished! Im signing off now but I'll come back once tomorrow morning to check in!

WenjingJian (talk) 06:14, 29 March 2012 (UTC)"When editing the article in the sandbox, REMEMBER to describe the changes you made in the “edit summary” box at the bottom of the page" Have we done that yet?

WenjingJian (talk) 06:15, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Ok thanks! Good nite, Duroshay:)

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 06:16, 29 March 2012 (UTC) We haven't! Also, I have edited UK because the grammer was a little off!

Youilove1 (talk) 06:21, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Okay i will come back in the morning :) And there is no more Quebec's information, only found an application form...:(

WenjingJian (talk) 06:19, 29 March 2012 (UTC) will you be able to come back and finish the "edit summary" before 11am?

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 06:20, 29 March 2012 (UTC) I can do that now but Im just not sure how

WenjingJian (talk) 06:24, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Click"edit", you'll see a "edit summary" box just above the "save page and show preview bar".

WenjingJian (talk) 06:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Write a short description for your paragraphs maybe?@@

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 06:26, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Oh ok! So we just do it for each subtopic we did ourself right?

Duroshay.brohi (talk) 06:27, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Or under the edit page for the entire article?

WenjingJian (talk) 06:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)yea. just for subtopics you did! I'll do mine later and maybe try to add a picture.

WenjingJian (talk) 08:06, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Youjin and I just finished fixing all the references. Figuring out how to put the whole article on the wiki page.

WenjingJian (talk) 08:54, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Hey guys, I have posted our edited article on the wiki page, and have taken all the screenshots. The Word Document is ready. Let me know if you would like to make any changes. :)
