3. (3) sell at retail at the licensed premises only in quantities of 750-milliliter bottles the alcoholic liquors produced at the licensed premises, but only if the labels for the bottles are marked "not for resale";
4. (4) sell at retail no more than three 750-milliliter bottles of alcoholic liquors to a consumer in one business day;
5. (5) not allow consumption on the licensed premises of alcoholic liquors sold by the bottle at the licensed premises;
