Sorry for the delay, as I had to do some searching as well.
New Mexico is king when it comes to writing laws with holes. The definition
in found under Chapter 60 Art. 3a, Pam 60.3a-3 entitled "business license" and
is not availablke online. I had a friend find and read to so this is
paraphrased. The definition of an alcoholic beverage is any liquor wine or
beer not to exceed 1.5 oz ABW. REMEBER I am the messenger here.
Give you another good one: Smoking is not allowed within 15 feet of the
entrance of a public building. It does not say wich side of the door you
should be on.
When smoking WAS allowed in bars, the rule was the bar had to have a full
liquor license, and smoking must be confined to a barriered area, but the law
did not define what a barrier was. This essentially meant you could designate
a chair as the barrier: left side smoking and right side nonsmoking. A local
bar actually was sued over this issue and won bacease of the lack of defintion
to a barrier.
So.... yeah
