If you’re not ready to return to restaurants just yet, you can still get adult beverages to-go or even delivered to your home.
The TABC says restaurants can continue to sell booze-to-go and deliver it, as long as they follow the rules.
Governor Abbott took it a step further in a Tuesday night tweet: “Alcohol-to-go sales can continue after May 1. From what I hear from Texans, we may just let this keep on going forever.”
Restaurants have been allowed to sell to-go drinks and deliver alcoholic drinks or mixes since March, under these guidelines:
- Alcohol must be in manufacturer-sealed container.
- Alcohol must be accompanied by a food order.
- Distilled spirits must be in containers no larger than 375 milliliters.
- Customers must be at least 21 years old.
It's not official yet but stay tuned, Texans!
