The Department of Revenue wants to inform you that your On-Premise Beer and Wine Permit (PBW) DOES NOT ALLOW FOR SUNDAY SALES TO-GO. There has been some confusion regarding whether Section 61-4-630 permits the sale of beer and wine for off premise consumption on Sundays. A PBW only allows you to sell beer and wine for ON and OFF premise consumption from Monday at sunrise through Saturday at 11:59 p.m.. (See S.C. Code Ann. Section 61-4-120, which provides that it is unlawful for a person to sell or offer for sale wine or beer in this State between the hours of twelve o'clock Saturday night and sunrise Monday morning). Section 61-4-630 provides an exception to Section 61-4-120. Specifically, Section 61-4-630 allows a holder of an On-Premise Beer and Wine Permit to sell beer and wine for CONSUMPTION ON THE PREMISE on Sundays during the same hours authorized by permits issued under S.C. Code Ann. Section 61-6-2010 if the permit holder is in a county or municipality that has passed a favorable Local Option Permit (LOP) referendum (LOP holders are not permitted to sell liquor by the drink between the hours of 2 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Sunday). SECTION 61-4-630 DOES NOT PERMIT THE HOLDER OF A PBW TO SELL BEER AND WINE TO-GO ON SUNDAYS.

If you have a PBW and sell beer and/or wine to-go on Sundays, SLED will issue you a violation for selling beer on Sunday in violation of S.C. Code Ann. Section 61-4-120.

If you would like to sell beer and/or wine for on and off premise consumption seven days a week, you must be located in a county or municipality that has passed both the LOP and beer to-go referendums. If you are located in one of these counties or municipalities, then you must purchase a 7-Day On Premises Beer and Wine Permit (PO7). The PO7 has the same qualifications as an On-Premise Beer and Wine Permit (PBW) and the same fees associated with the 7-Day Off Premise Beer and Wine Permit (P7B). If you would like to know the specific hours of operation that are permitted by each type of license, please visit the Licenses tab.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact the ABL Section at 803-898-5864.​​
