Answer to Question 1

There are basically three types of operations that serve alcoholic beverages: beverage only, beverage and food, and beverage and entertainment/activity. Beverage-only establishments sell little if any food. Examples include many small bars and taverns. Beverage and food operations include restaurants and other foodservice operations that sell meals. Beverage and entertainment/ activity facilities sell alcoholic beverages and may offer their patrons a choice of things to do and eat while they are drinking. These types of establishments include bowling alleys, golf courses, amusement parks, comedy clubs, nightclubs, and music clubs.

Answer to Question 2

Lager beers, and specifically light lager beers, are currently the most popular types of beer sold in the United States. Those who consider themselves to be more serious beer drinkers often prefer more flavorful beers. Beer is sold in the United States in bottles, cans, by the glass, and by the pitcher. Wines sold in restaurant and foodservice operations range from sweet (high sugar content) to dry (low sugar content) and come from many different wine-growing regions. The detailed information guests need to know about the wines they are buying is included in an operation's wine list. Spirits are beverages with higher concentrations of alcohol and may be consumed by themselves (straight) or mixed with other spirits, beverages (such as soft drinks), juices, or flavorings to produce mixed drinks. The higher potency levels of spirits means that their sale must be very carefully managed.
