Local businesses again excelled when it came to not selling alcohol to minors.

The Livingston County Community Alliance, in conjunction with the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, has been conducting alcohol compliance checks to enforce liquor law sales in Livingston County.

Since June 2026, the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office has visited 124 retailers throughout the county. Out of those visited, 118 people refused to sell to the underage purchasers. That is a compliance rate of 95%.

In 2025, the compliance rate was 93%.

The Alliance said “We would like to congratulate the following businesses. We believe that with the help of local businesses refusing to sell alcohol to underage people, the Livingston County community can avoid the problems that come with underage drinking. Selling alcohol is a legitimate business that plays a vital role in our community. This privilege has specific responsibilities attached to it. We thank each of you for fulfilling those responsibilities and look forward to your continued support in the future”.
