U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1156. Intoxicants possessed unlawfully
Whoever, except for scientific, sacramental, medicinal or
mechanical purposes, possesses intoxicating liquors in the Indian
country or where the introduction is prohibited by treaty or an Act
of Congress, shall, for the first offense, be fined under this
title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and, for each
subsequent offense, be fined under this title or imprisoned not
more than five years, or both.
The term "Indian country" as used in this section does not
include fee-patented lands in non-Indian communities or
rights-of-way through Indian reservations, and this section does
not apply to such lands or rights-of-way in the absence of a treaty
or statute extending the Indian liquor laws thereto.
