The Virginia state legislature has voted in favor of making cocktail to-go orders permanent.

FOX 5’s Stephanie Ramirez said both the Virginia House and Senate voted overwhelmingly for the new legislation.

The COVID-era measure was originally designed to help restaurants and other businesses that were facing hurdles trying to stay afloat when indoor dining had shut down and was later limited by social distancing.

Ramirez said that several years ago, Virginia lawmakers passed a measure allowing mixed alcoholic beverages to also be ordered with those to-go orders.

The measure was scheduled to expire but will now go on indefinitely. Coming out of the pandemic, Ramirez said restaurants still consider cocktail to-go orders to be an important tool as owners battle inflation, supply chain disruptions, and staffing shortages.

I also liked the push for a lot of restaurants to have outdoor options.

My town also removed an ordinance against rooftop businesses. 2 restaurants in town ended up opening rooftop bars and they're awesome.

Mixed drinks to go were even allowed in California for a while.  My favorite Mexican restaurant had good Margaritas to go.

Unfortunately the place, which I introduced several fellow ARFCOM members to, had to shut down because of the ridiculous, unnecessary lock-down rules.  Most of the employees bailed out in early 2020 and never came back.

Funny how alcohol laws went out the window during Covid.

Before you couldn't step one foot off the patio with a single drop left in your beer bottle without a bouncer tackling you to the ground.

Now you can go through the Drive-thru and get margaritas in a gallon ziplock bag with a straw.

Missouri got it right

"Missouri does not have a statewide open container law. Instead, the practice is largely acceptable at the state level. Similarly, there are no state laws prohibiting public drinking. You can walk around carrying or drinking an open container of alcohol as long as you are of legal age."

Proud to be part of the 20%

To be fair, a lot of people's jobs and lively hoods were threatened if they didn't take the jab.

I hope one day the powers that be have to answer for that.

Repeal open container laws. It was arguably the best part of visiting New Orleans.


The BMV effiecency in Ohio was vastly improved.

That's just part of the self-medication the government wants you to take advantage of, you stay home and get drunk, you don't cause too much trouble. Go look at some of the former Warsaw Pact countries.
