Actually, the "theoretical" situation you described (food to be either eaten on the premises or carried out, but alcohol for on-premises consumption only) is the actual situation for restaurants here in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.  If a restaurant allows alcoholic beverages to be taken off-premises, the restaurant will lose its license to sell alcohol.  This is intended to make it harder for adults to buy beer or liquor on behalf of under-age drinkers.

I know that it sounds a little bit redundant to repeat the prefix, but
in the end it will IMHO make things easier, because sooner or later
there will be overlapping features with the need to specify - or
several features with different attributes and it will not be clear
which one is for which feature (already happening right now). E.g.
there could be a restaurant which at the same time sells ice_cream to
take away but beer just for consumation inhouse (e.g. for legal
reasons).

cheers,
Martin
