To-go drinks have become a “lifeline” for local businesses. Young drinkers have fueled the alcohol business during the pandemic, and across the country, restaurants have been selling “cocktails to-go” to quarantined customers. While rules and regulations for “carryout cocktails” vary for each state, some are allowing delivery services like DoorDash to deliver the mixed drinks—which has allowed some restaurants to hire back staff and help pay some bills. Many want carryout cocktails to be permanently legalized, and up to 80% of the public agree, according to “numerous state polls.” (AP News)
