Attention Restaurant owners of Georgia:
"On May 5, 2021, a bill that would permanently allow restaurants to sell to-go cocktails was signed into law. The new law is designed to help businesses recover from the devastating financial effects of the pandemic. Restaurants are permitted to sell a maximum of two alcoholic beverages per entree and must be sold in sealed containers. Also, customers must place the drinks in the glove box or trunk of their car while in transport, and in cases where there isn’t a trunk, the drink must be placed in the furthest seat away from the driver. Local municipalities are not required to participate in offering to-go cocktails.
Additionally, in late 2020, it became legal for retail stores to offer home delivery of beer, wine and liquor. However, the law does not apply to local breweries and distilleries. "

The pandemic has shaped current liquor laws on alcohol sales in Georgia by spurring the government to make statewide changes to help bars and restaurants.
