New York Liquor License Even a rudimentary understanding of the costs that alcohol consumption can bring to a municipality, county or state will quickly illustrate why governments closely monitor and regulate liquor distribution through a liquor authority. Here in NY, the New York State Liquor Authority exists "for the protection, health, welfare and safety of the people of the State.” In pursuit of this mission, the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA):
- Has the power to "regulate and control the manufacture and distribution within the state of alcoholic beverages for the purpose of … promoting temperance … and respect for and obedience to law,"
- Is authorized to "determine whether public convenience and advantage will be promoted by the issuance of licenses to traffic in alcoholic beverages … and to carry out the increase or decrease in the number thereof and the location of premises licensed … in the public interest."
