The law prohibits sale or possession of alcoholic beverages to or bya person who is "interdicted." What does that mean?
A: The word "interdicted" means, in a general sense, "to prohibit" or "to bar." In Virginia, Code section 4.1-333, permits the circuit court to declare a person "an habitual drunkard." Another form of interdiction occurs when, as a term of probation or condition imposed to obtain a restricted driver's license in a DUI case, the court may order that the defendant not consume alcohol during the probationary period. Another statutory bar to possession by or sale of alcohol to persons is of course, their being underage; i.e., less than 21 years old.
