Maine liquor and liability laws, what does imitation liquor refer to?

Question

Does that mean things like vanilla and other flavorings you bake with that contain alcohol? I don't understand what it's supposed to mean. Here's the passage and link; "Furnishing Imitation Liquor to a Minor:Any person who furnishes imitation liquor to a minor, or allows a minor under that person's control to possess, or consume imitation liquor, may be fined up to $500 and/or sentenced to six months in jail"

Answer 1

To find the definition, you need to refer to the actual law.

Maine law defines imitation liquor as "any product containing less than 1/2 of 1% alcohol by volume which seeks to imitate by appearance, taste and smell liquor or which is designed to carry the impression to the purchaser that the beverage has an alcohol content. 'Imitation liquor' includes, but is not limited to, products bearing the brand names 'Near Beer,' 'Brew' or 'Champaigne-0."
