The alcohol laws of Oklahoma comprehensively limit and regulate the sale of alcohol in Oklahoma. Much like its neighboring state of Kansas (see Alcohol laws of Kansas), Oklahoma's approach to alcohol is quite strict. Oklahoma's approach contrasts sharply with that of another neighboring state, Missouri (see Alcohol laws of Missouri), which has some of the nation's least restrictive alcohol control laws. Any beverage containing more than 3.2% alcohol by weight or 4% alcohol by volume, that is, most liquors, wines, and typical beer, may only be sold in licensed liquor stores at room temperature.〔(37 Oklahoma Statutes § 534. )〕 To circumvent the alcohol content restrictions, beer distributors in Oklahoma primarily sell low-point beer. This allows the beer to be sold not only in convenience stores and supermarkets, but in refrigerated form. The law defines low-point beer as any beverage containing between 0.5% and 3.2% alcohol by weight.〔(37 Oklahoma Statutes § 163.2. )〕 Minors under the age of 21 are not permitted to possess or purchase alcohol; however, consumption in a "private setting" is not prohibited by Oklahoma law. Minors may not have a blood alcohol level of more than .02%. As of 2015, 34 of Oklahoma's 77 counties restrict the sale of liquor by the drink every day of the week. On Sundays, an additional 18 counties restrict liquor by the drink, which totals to 52 of 77 counties. ==Liquor sales== Under Oklahoma law, it is a felony to provide alcoholic beverages to the "mentally deficient," the intoxicated, and persons under 21 years of age.〔(Section XXVIII-5 )〕 Although low-point beer may not be sold where unclothed persons or persons with exposed private parts are present on the same premises, alcohol sales are available by the glass if permitted by the county. Conviction of this crime is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 for each offense.〔(OSCN Found Document:Sale to Unclothed or Partially Unclothed Person Prohibited )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alcohol laws of Oklahoma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
