Alcohol to-go changes may outlive ban on restaurant dining

A tweet by Texas Governor Greg Abbott expressed his support for making his waiver permitting the sale of beer, wine and mixed drinks to-go by restaurants and some bars permanent.

This would eliminate the need for third party transportation of alcoholic beverages to go in Dallas. The governor also increased the number of establishments that could sell adult beverages to go.

There are restrictions currently in place for selling adult beverages to go and they will almost certainly remain if the waiver is extended indefinitely. The only rules are that drinks must accompany a food order and the alcohol must remain in its original Packaging.

The waiver Abbott signed proved to be popular with the public, and consequently the restaurants and the bars offering food as well. The to-go alcoholic beverages were a welcome comfort to some customers and abated the financial stress suffered by the establishments suffering from reduced revenues.

Food establishments make good use of flyer printing services to apprise the public of changes to their Menus whenever they occur.

The change that would likely make the governor particularly popular is one that is out of his hands. Only the Texas legislature has the power to permit the selling of pre-mixed cocktails by bars and restaurants, and it will not be in session again until 2021.
