Glasgow Sale by the Drink Defined ordinance (§ 600.015)
Chapter 600: Alcoholic Beverages
In short: Selling liquor other than malt liquor in its original package in quantities under 50 milliliters counts as "sale by the drink." Only a retail liquor dealer's license holder may make these sales, and the container must be emptied and served like any other drink.
