Do licencees in Scotland have the power to refuse to sell alcohol to someone who is not underage or drunk?!
I think that supermarkets/off licences have the legal power to refuse to sell alcohol to anyone for whatever reason they wish - or for no reason!. My sister insists that they can't refuse to sell to someone who can prove that they are over 18 and are not drunk!. Any experts out there!? Help!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Shops Pubs restaurants or any retail outlet have the right to refuse to serve to whoever they chose!.!.nor do they have to give a reason for refusing to serve youWww@FoodAQ@Com
When you walk into a pub and ask for a drink and you are served and have paid for the drink, you have negotiated a contract with the licencee!. If the licencee for some reason does not wish to enter into a contract of sale, he/she is under no obligation to do so!. If you can prove that you have been unlawfully discriminated against, you should contact the police!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
