3-12-1: 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. 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 sold as a sole or primary business to be conducted within the Village. 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 and to prevent intoxication, disorderly conduct, trespasses, unruly disturbances at public or private assemblies, and similar conduct that often results from the purchase, consumption or possession of alcoholic liquor by persons under the lawful age.
