Alcoholic beverages may be purchased only in the portion of the club rooms that are part of the licensed premises.

(f) Alcoholic beverages purchased by a club or organization licensed under this section may not be used or consumed off the licensed premises of the club or organization by any person, including club members and employees unless used or consumed at social, recreational, benevolent, or athletic functions of the club or organization and the use or consumption is approved by the board.

(g) Access by persons under 21 years of age to

(1) a club's licensed premises is permitted when alcoholic beverages are not present; and

(2) the premises of a patriotic organization licensed as a club under this section is permitted when alcoholic beverages are present, if the person is a guest of a member of the club, or the spouse accompanying a guest, and the guest possesses a valid active duty military or armed forces identification card issued by the United States Department of Defense or the United States Department of Homeland Security.
