In NC the laws are pretty simple.
- Can't purchase alcohol before noon on Sundays
- Can't purchase alcohol if you're already intoxicated UNLESS you're at a bar or a club, and it's at the discretion of whoever is serving you.
- If there is a group of you together when only one of you is purchasing alcohol, the person selling it to you has the right to card EVERYONE in the group, and refuse to sell it to you if there's anyone under 21 in the group.
- Bars/clubs are required to sell some sort of food/snacks if they sell alcohol, and it must be served the entire time they serve alcohol (IE: If they serve alcohol til 2am, they are required to serve food til 2am)
- In a bar/club you cannot have more than one opened alcoholic drink in front of you at a time.
