State Alcohol
Control Boards
In the U.S., 18 states directly regulate alcohol sales by controlling its retail and/or wholesale distribution. These states are called “control states.” The other 32 states, called “licensure states,” issue licenses to private sellers. Conditions can be placed on these licenses, which help the states more indirectly control the sale of alcohol. The following is a list of the Alcohol Control Boards for all 50 states:
