(1) The sample shall not be more than seventy-two fluid ounces; except if a particular product is not available in a size of seventy-two fluid ounces or less, a wholesaler may furnish or give the next larger size to the retailer;

(2) The wholesaler shall keep a record of the name of the retailer and the quantity of each brand furnished or given to such retailer; and

(3) No samples of malt liquor provided shall be consumed or opened on the premises of the retailer except as provided by the retail license.
