What type of licence allows alcohol to be taken off the premises?

  1. On licence

  2. Off licence

  3. Club licence

  4. Special licence

The correct answer is: Off licence

An off licence is specifically designed to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises where the purchase is made. This type of licence is typically held by retail establishments such as liquor stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores, allowing customers to buy alcohol to take home or to another location. In contrast, an on licence allows for the sale of alcohol that is intended to be consumed on the premises, such as in bars, restaurants, or clubs. While a club licence relates to alcohol sold within a private club for its members, and a special licence usually pertains to temporary events or specific occasions, it is the off licence that distinctly allows patrons to take alcohol away from the site of sale. This emphasizes the nature of the activity and the setting where the alcohol is intended to be consumed, highlighting the specific purpose of the off licence in the broader context of alcohol regulation.
