Cocktails To-Go Bill

Georgians would be able to buy cocktails to-go under legislation that cleared the General Assembly Monday. SB 236 will let Georgians buy up to two mixed drinks in to-go cups holding a maximum of three ounces of liquor in each cup.

To-go drinks would have to be in tightly sealed containers without holes for straws and be sealed so securely it would be easy to tell whether they had been opened. They also would have to be stored in a glove box, locked trunk or behind the back seat while driving.

This bill, which now goes to Gov. Brian Kemp's desk, would not let customers buy only mixed drinks. They would have to buy food along with their take-out drink order.
