The drinking age is 21, and sale hours typically run from 7am to 2am. Full nudity is generally prohibited in venues that serve alcohol, with topless being more common. Each municipality can impose specific restrictions through their ordinances, so it's essential to consult local ordinances for specific regulations regarding nudity and alcohol.
