Is there a loop hole to being able to sell alcohol?

Question

For example, if people were to buy a raffle ticket, then use the raffle ticket in exchange for a drink? I am in texas, and like to throw parties, but I need a way to be able to get some money back.

Answer 1

you always have to have a liquor license to officially sell alcohol. but, if you're at a party, the usual way to do it is to sell cups, then you're not selling alcohol, you're just selling containers. however, you can still get busted for providing alcohol to minors....

Answer 2

Just charge everybody a cover charge like $20 to get in the door
