However, if the patron has been cut off prior to becoming intoxicated and attempts are made to secure him a ride, there would not be a violation. It is not a violation to have glasses on the table at or after closing. The violation is to allow consumption of alcoholic beverages between the hours of 2 am and 6 am. Basically the rules for clubs are the same as for retail operations with the exception of hours of sale and brown bagging. Clubs are limited to members and their invited guests except for specific and limited times they may operate open to the public.
Same rules apply to cater's as to retail operations.
ABC Laws and Regulations, as well as agency sponsored programs, change from year to year. Our Special Agents who make public appearances and conduct programs should remain abreast of the changes and be prepared to explain them as necessary. Changes for 1993 include keg registration and non-alcoholic beverage advertising. Virginia Law does not allow anyone other than a sworn police to seize falsified ID'S. Licensee's retaining such ID's should turn them over to the local police or to their local ABC Agent. If a mixed beverage licensed establishment, they may drink during a dinner break and after they have finished playing for the evening provided it is not past 2 am.
