Which of the following statements is true regarding alcohol sales in grocery stores?

  1. Alcohol can be sold all day, regardless of time

  2. Alcohol cannot be sold on holidays

  3. Alcohol can only be sold between set hours

  4. Alcohol can be given away for free

The correct answer is: Alcohol can only be sold between set hours

The correct statement is that alcohol can only be sold between set hours. This reflects the regulations governing the sale of alcohol in grocery stores, which typically establish specific hours when such sales are permitted to ensure responsible consumption and to limit availability during late night or early morning. These restrictions may vary based on local laws and regulations but generally are in place to promote safe and responsible alcohol practices. Regulatory frameworks also dictate not just when alcohol can be sold, but also ensure that sales are managed appropriately, contributing to public safety and health initiatives.
