No mixed beverage, public event, special event or on-premises beer and wine licensee shall:

1. Purchase or receive any alcoholic beverage other than from a person holding a wine and spirit wholesaler or beer distributor license issued pursuant to the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act; provided, a mixed beverage or on-premises beer and wine licensee whose premises are a restaurant may purchase wine produced at wineries in this state directly from a winemaker as provided in Section 2 of Article XXVIIIA of the Oklahoma Constitution;

2. Transport alcoholic beverages from the place of purchase to the licensed premises unless the licensee also holds a private carrier license issued by the ABLE Commission;

3. Use or allow the use of any mark or label on a container of alcoholic beverage which is kept for sale which does not clearly and precisely indicate the nature of the contents or which might deceive or conceal the nature, composition, quantity, age or quality of such beverage;

4. Keep or knowingly permit any alcoholic beverage to be kept, brought or consumed on the licensed premises which is not allowed to be sold or served upon such premises; or

5. Allow any person under twenty-one (21) years of age to enter into, remain within or loiter about the designated bar area of the licensed premises, except for persons who incidentally pass through the designated area.

The prohibition in this subsection against persons under twenty-one (21) years of age entering or remaining within the designated bar area of the licensed premises shall not apply if the licensed premises are closed to the public during a time the premises are legally permitted to be open for business and the premises are used for a private party at which alcoholic beverages may be served to persons twenty-one (21) years of age or older. Any alcoholic beverages served at a private party on the licensed premises may be purchased from the licensee at a negotiated price or purchased privately and served at the private party on the licensed premises. Any licensee who desires to conduct such a private party shall notify the ABLE Commission, in writing, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the private party. The notification shall include the date, time and purpose of the private party and any other information the ABLE Commission may deem necessary.
