When can alcohol legally be sold and served in California?

24/7 without restrictions
Beginning at 6 a.m. and ending at 2 a.m. the next day
Only during daylight hours
From 8 a.m. to midnight

The correct answer is: Beginning at 6 a.m. and ending at 2 a.m. the next day

In California, alcohol can legally be sold and served between the hours of 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. the next day. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either have no restrictions on the time of day or have limited hours. Option A, 24/7 without restrictions, is incorrect because while there are some establishments that may have extended hours for serving alcohol, the state law does have restrictions. Option C, only during daylight hours, is incorrect because alcohol can legally be served and sold during nighttime hours as well. Option D, from 8 a.m. to midnight, is incorrect because it does not cover the full range of legal hours for selling and serving alcohol in California.
