§ 26-5-107 — Sale of intoxicating liquors

(a) In any suit at law or in equity, whether now pending or hereafter instituted, wherein an attachment is issued and levied upon intoxicating liquors, and/or wherein an execution is awarded and levied upon intoxicating liquors, such liquors may be sold by the levying officer by advertising such liquor for sale in the same way and manner now provided by law for the sale of any other property attached or levied upon by an execution. (b) The purchaser of such intoxicating liquors at such attachment and/or execution sale shall be authorized to transport such liquors from the place of sale to any place beyond the boundaries of this state, or to any county within the state, only in event the sale of intoxicating liquors is authorized and legalized in such other county. (c) Before such purchaser shall transport from the place of sale the liquors so purchased, the purchaser shall procure a permit from the officer making the sale, which permit shall state the name or style of the case or suit, the name of the court in which the same is pending, the quantity of liquors so sold, and the price paid by the purchaser, and the permit shall constitute a bill of sale to the purchaser, and shall be carried in person by the purchaser, the purchaser's agent or employee, as such person transports such intoxicating liquors to its destination. (d) This section shall not authorize the sale of intoxicating liquors, as now defined by the laws in force in this state, in any other way or manner, nor for any other purpose, except as hereinabove provided; provided, however, the judgment creditor, if he be the purchaser, may sell such liquors to any licensed dealer.
