Colorado To-Go Booze, Alcohol Delivery Might Be Here to Stay

Restaurants are beginning to reopen, but we might still be able to enjoy their booze selections from home, even after the pandemic.

According to The Loveland Reporter-Herald, Colorado lawmakers have proposed a bill that would extend alcohol delivery and takeout until July of 2022.

The bill would then expire on its own, leaving officials to decide whether or not to allow to-go booze permanently.

If the bill passes, restaurants will be able to continue selling takeout alcohol just as they have throughout the pandemic.

However, to-go containers would have size limitations, and restaurants would be prohibited from having their gross alcohol takeout revenue surpass 50% of their total sales revenue.

These restrictions are designed to prevent the new takeout option from harming liquor stores.

And, while the bill would let us keep the luxury of a take-home margarita, it would also help to keep restaurant sales up amidst COVID-19 uncertainty.

Cheers to that.
