A.B.C stands for?

• A. American Beverage Code
• B. Alcoholic Beverage Code
• C. Alcoholic Beverage Control
• D. Alcoholic Beverage Confederation

Answer: (B)

In legal terminology, the abbreviation A.B.C most often refers to the Alcoholic Beverage Code, the compiled set of statutes that govern how alcoholic beverages are produced, distributed, sold, and possessed. The word "Code" signals that these are the codified laws, the statutory framework you must follow and reference.

This is the best answer because the question is asking for what the abbreviation stands for in a legal context, not the name of a regulatory agency. The Alcoholic Beverage Code is the body of law, while Alcoholic Beverage Control (the agency that enforces the code) is a different concept. Sometimes people mix them up because agencies share similar acronyms, but the code itself is the statutes that define licensing, penalties, age restrictions, and enforcement rules. The other options aren’t standard legal terms for the code: American Beverage Code isn’t a recognized statutory title, and Alcoholic Beverage Confederation isn’t a recognized regulatory term.
