HRS §281-78.5
Ban on practices that push too much drinking
This section stops liquor sellers from using practices that encourage customers to drink too much. The liquor commission will make rules to ban specific practices, including how beer stacking is defined. Breaking this law or the rules is a violation, and each day it happens counts as a separate offense.
The statute, as written — Practices to promote excessive consumption of liquor; prohibited
(a) No person licensed to sell liquor for consumption on the premises shall engage in practices which promote excessive consumption of liquor. (b) The liquor commission shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 91 to prohibit specific liquor promotion practices which promote excessive consumption of liquor; provided that any rules adopted by the counties related to the stacking of liquor shall specify that: (1) Stacking of beer shall be defined based on a standard serving size of total volume; and (2) A standard serving size of beer shall be defined as not exceeding a total volume of thirty-two ounces before a customer at any one time. (c) Any person who violates this section or any rule adopted by the commission pursuant to this chapter shall be guilty of a violation for each separate offense. Each date of violation shall constitute a separate offense.
