ORIGINAL POSTER
I am loosely understanding there is a law that alcohol sales must be more than 500 meters from a temple or place of worship. Does this include every shrine and Indy church or does the place need to have some credential to it? Anyone know how that works?

Edit: shop is for the lady there is a Christian church on a nearby street.
