4-1-2: PURPOSE:
It is the policy of the Village to limit the sale of alcoholic liquor at retail primarily to the sale in its "original package" or by "restaurants", "recreational facilities" or "hotels", as defined in section 4-1-3 of this chapter. It is not deemed conducive to the promotion of this public policy to allow the sale of alcoholic liquor at retail for consumption on the premises where such sale is the sole business to be conducted. Further, it is the policy of the Village to limit the purchase, consumption or possession of alcoholic liquor to persons of the age of twenty one (21) years or older in order to prevent intoxication, disorderly conduct, trespass, unruly disturbance at public or private assemblies, traffic accidents and similar conduct which often result from the purchase, consumption or possession of alcoholic liquor by persons under the lawful age.
