Oh my goodness, you're almost certainly right about the liquor. There are oodles of laws about who can get a liquor license, as well as what they can serve, to whom, and when. I believe that you're often not allowed to have an establishment that serves liquor within x distance of a church, hospital, or school. Go tell the people at 100 Main Street that they're not allowed to serve liquor to their patrons, but that the people at 150 Main Street are.

Imagine that you're running a Cookening site in your home. Are you allowed to serve wine to the children? (I realize that this is a non-issue in many countries, but it's a very serious one in the US.) What are the penalties for giving wine to the children?
