Alcohol Beverage Authorities in United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico

In the United States, each state has the authority to regulate the production, sale, and distribution of alcohol within its borders. This means state and local jurisdictions may have their own requirements in addition to federal requirements.

State laws and regulations vary widely from state to state and may be more restrictive than federal regulations.

For more information about TTB’s regulatory responsibilities, visit About Us - What We Do.
