Opinion:
In our opinion, the legal fiction of the corporate entity must give way in this instance before the strong public policy in favor of strict control of the sale of alcoholic beverages (see Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, § 2; Matter of 1068 First Ave. Rest. Corp. v. State Liq. Auth., 24 A D 2d 951). Rabin, P. J., Munder, Martuscello, Shapiro and Gulotta, JJ., concur.
