Off-sales is a term used to refer to the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises, typically in retail stores or supermarkets. There are several other words that can be used to describe off-sales, including off-license, take-away alcohol, or retail liquor sales. Off-license is a particularly common term in the UK, while take-away alcohol might be more frequently used in the US. Other possible synonyms for off-sales might include bottle shops, packaged liquor, or simply alcohol sales. Regardless of the specific term used, off-sales have become an increasingly important part of the alcohol industry, particularly as more people opt to drink at home rather than in bars or restaurants.
