§281-37  Sales of alcohol.  No alcohol
shall be sold, bartered, or otherwise furnished by any person whether holding a
license to manufacture or sell the same under this chapter or not, except to a
person holding a license to resell the same, or to a person holding a purchase
permit from the liquor commission to purchase the same.



Permits to purchase alcohol may be issued by
the commission, without fee or charge therefor, to any person holding a license
under the laws of the State to sell poisonous drugs, or to any person who in
the opinion of the commission requires the use thereof for pharmaceutical or
other purposes in the bona fide treatment of patients of such person, or for
rubbing, cleansing, or as a preservative, or for any bona fide scientific purpose,
but in no case for use for beverage purposes.



On every sale of alcohol the seller, after
first being satisfied that the person presenting a permit is the person therein
named, shall make a record on the permit and sign the same showing the name of
the purchaser, the date, the quantity sold, and the purpose declared as to the
intended use thereof.  The seller shall also keep a separate record of the same
matters.  If in any permit there is a prescribed limit as to the quantity
purchasable thereunder at any one time or in the aggregate in any given period
of time, the permit shall not be honored beyond its terms.



The commission, by rules and regulations, where
deemed appropriate, may provide for the sale of alcohol upon prescriptions of
duly licensed physicians in lieu of the permits above mentioned. [L Sp 1933, c
