This section shall not authorize the sale of intoxicating liquors, as now defined by the laws in force in this state, in any other way or manner, nor for any other purpose, except as hereinabove provided; provided, however, the judgment creditor, if he be the purchaser, may sell such liquors to any licensed dealer.
