ABC may suspend or revoke an alcohol license under §24200 for multiple grounds. Which of the following is a common ground?
Explanation
§24200 lists grounds for ABC license suspension/revocation, including: sales to minors (§25658), sales to intoxicated persons (§25602), permitting illegal activity on the premises, violating local ordinances, misrepresentation on the license application, and continued nuisance. A typical first §25658 offense yields a 15-day license suspension; repeat offenses can lead to revocation. The licensee's livelihood is directly tied to server compliance.
