 | | In North Carolina, it is illegal to sell alcohol without a permit, to sell to anyone under the age of 21, to have an open container of alcohol in the car, or to sell wine, beer or liquor to anyone who is intoxicated. |
 | | Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) agents enforce these, and many other laws that deal with the sale, purchase, transportation, manufacture, consumption, and possession of alcoholic beverages in the state. |
 | | ALE is unique in that it is the only law enforcement agency with statewide jurisdiction that has, as its primary mission, enforcement of alcoholic beverage laws. |
