Why is compliance with all state and local laws important in the service of alcoholic beverages?

It is not important
To avoid legal penalties and ensure safety
To keep up with competition
Because laws are suggestive, not mandatory

The correct answer is: To avoid legal penalties and ensure safety

Compliance with all state and local laws is important in the service of alcoholic beverages because it helps to ensure the safety and well-being of both customers and employees. Engaging in illegal actions can lead to legal penalties and potential harm to those involved. It is also important for businesses to comply with laws to maintain a good reputation and avoid potential competition from those who do comply. Saying that laws are merely suggestive is incorrect, as they are in fact mandatory and must be followed to avoid legal consequences.
