Gov. Abbott Signals Support For Permanent To-Go Alcohol Sales

[#TexasPolitics365] 


What started as a way to keep struggling businesses afloat during the pandemic may actually become the new normal.

Back in March, Governor Greg Abbott signed a waiver that allowed restaurants to sell alcohol to-go with food purchases, including beer, wine and mixed drinks. He later hinted in a tweet in April that he wanted to make to-go alcohol sales permanent.

The governor made his position official during his opening remarks on the first day of the 2021 legislative session on Tuesday, promising to keep alcohol-to-go sales in Texas, according to mysanantonio.com.

He also tweeted, "Let's make alcohol-to-go an official law in Texas."
