off the premises; or
on the premises in the amount and in the circumstances prescribed by regulation.
Premises approved by the commissioner under subsection (1) (d) are detached bottle shops under this Act.
If the commissioner states in the licence, the authority of a commercial hotel licence extends to the sale of liquor off the licensed premises, for consumption off the premises, while the licensee is catering for a function if—
