Are there any special regulations related to selling alcohol on Sundays or holidays?

Yes, there are special regulations regarding the sale of alcohol in West Virginia on Sundays and holidays. According to state law, no alcoholic liquor can be sold, given away, delivered, or furnished from a licensed premise on Sundays or holidays unless the licensee has obtained authorization from the West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Commission. On Sundays, retail sales of liquor and wine can be allowed from 1 p.m. to midnight and from 8 a.m. to midnight on holidays. All other sales must end by midnight, including off-premise retail sales and manufacturing. For restaurants to be able to sell alcohol on Sundays and holidays, the establishment must have at least 30% of its gross sales from food. Furthermore, restaurants must also hold a Sunday Sales permit for sales on Sundays. All businesses licensed to sell alcohol in West Virginia must also comply with the state’s liquor liability law, which prohibits an intoxicated person from buying, possessing, or consuming alcoholic beverages. This means that licensees must be mindful of who they are serving and must take steps to ensure that any patron who appears to be intoxicated is not served any further drinks. This includes carding customers who seem to be underage, monitoring customers who are drinking in the establishment, and refusing service to those who have already consumed excessive amounts of alcohol.
