Are there any special regulations or laws related to the sale of alcohol on credit cards?

In West Virginia, there are special regulations and laws relating to the sale of alcohol on credit cards. The West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Administration requires that establishments selling alcohol restrict the use of credit cards for the purchase of alcohol. Credit cards are only permitted for the sale of alcohol when the customer is present, and the card must be swiped and the customer must verify their identification. Furthermore, no customer may purchase alcohol from the same establishment with a credit card more than once in a 24-hour period. Additionally, businesses may not extend either direct or indirect credit to customers for the purchase of alcohol. Finally, business owners and employees are required to check the purchaser’s identification with every alcohol purchase, even when the credit card is used. Such records are required to be kept on-site in case of an audit. All of these regulations are enforced to help ensure that patrons are of legal drinking age and are not over-consuming alcohol.
