Re-selling beer

[freejumps]

Is it illegal to buy a case of beer from grocery store, then reselling the individual bottles?

 

[ussfletcher]

Without a license to sell alcohol, yes.

 

[Bryophyte]

Without a liquor license, you could get into a LOT of trouble.

Drink it first. Then piss out the improved product into new bottles and sell it.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

Only if you sell it in your seedy pet shop that's secretly a speakeasy.

 

[Azraele]

Most products come with a warning that reads "not for individual resale." And you need a license to sell alcohol.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

Yes, need a license to sell alcohol

Technically, yes. Also, it's stupid to charge girls. Girls get in free. Everyone knows this.

That's not for the keg, it's "sharing the cost of the party with friends".

 

[Iron Woode]

Yes. You don't have a liquor license.

its legal here depending on whether food is being served and how many people and how much alcohol is needed.

yes and no. if you have food there you could just say you were charging them for food, or future cleaning costs of the party. (hasnt this topic been covered before?). but if you are charging per beer with no license and the ATF finds out you will be in federal pound me in the ass prison (not really)

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

Then you're charging for the food...and the beer is free.

 

[Iron Woode]

this is true.

or if there are underage people around and you want to charge for booze then you will require a SOP (Special Occasion Permit) from the LCBO here. They are pretty easy to get and aren't that expensive.

Of course responsibility is key now. Laws must be obeyed.

Even with a license, you must purchase alcohol from a vendor in order to resell, because taxes are different. Its illegal for a bar to just go to Costco and load up.

really? because the restaurant i worked at last year did that every week. they would go get 15 dollar bottles of wine and sell them for 40+ dollars.

Some of the small "mom & pop" stores around here do this as well. IMO, Costco prices aren't that good, so I can't see there being much profit margin over buying from a distributor, but maybe their volume is small enough that the distributors don't want to bother with them.

depending on where you live can get in a lot of trouble for that. Chicago is very strict on who can buy or deliver alchohol
