A person shall not do any act authorized by any kind of license with respect to the
manufacture, storage, sale, purchase, transporting, or other traffic in alcoholic
beverages unless he or she holds the kind of license that authorizes the act.
The holding of any permit from the United States government to traffic in alcoholic
beverages without the corresponding requisite state and local licenses shall in all
cases raise a rebuttable presumption that the holder of the United States permit is
unlawfully trafficking in alcoholic beverages.
Except as provided in KRS 243.036 and 243.260, a person, conducting a place of
business patronized by the public, who does not hold a license to sell distilled
spirits, wine, or malt beverages, shall not permit any person to sell, barter, loan,
give away, or drink distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages on the premises of his
or her place of business.
Any distilled spirits or wine in excess of three (3) gallons (twelve (12) liters) shall
not be stored or kept except upon the licensed premises of a person who is the
holder of a license provided for in KRS 243.030.
In a moist territory, the only types of licenses that may be issued are those that
directly correspond with the types of sales approved by the voters through moist
elections within the territory, unless otherwise specifically authorized by statute.
