0 in a bar, sales of alcoholic drinks in bottles or other containers, so that you can take them away and drink them at home --
The increase in alcoholism is largely caused by the excess of off-sales drink outlets.
The bottle used for off-sales of spirits is the standard bottle in use in the licensed trade and contains one-sixth of a gallon.
The present law relating to off-sales causes unnecessary difficulty.
It is employed in running, supervising and managing 15 hotels, 13 public houses, four off-sales shops, one restaurant and three bottling stores.
We also make special provision for off-sales hours.
The difficulty we face is that off-sales over the counter in public house premises are permitted during those hours.
The proposed legislation appears to ignore the separate off-sales department in a pub or hotel.
There are people who have no interest in providing a grocery service but whose shops are purely off-sales departments.
