State Alcohol-Related Laws During the COVID-19 Emergency for On-Premise and Off-Premise Establishments as of April 13, 2020
This review looks at alcohol-related policies during the COVID-19 pandemic across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The primary focus is on the availability of beverage alcohol during the emergency. Coding relies on several sources of information, including websites and press releases for state governors, alcohol beverage control agencies, departments of revenue, commerce, and health; state executive orders and proclamations; online newspaper articles; state statutes and regulations; and the STOP Act State Performance and Best Practices for the Prevention and Reduction of Underage Drinking Report (2018). Although this review seeks to capture policies specific to the COVID-19 context, these policies may expand upon or remain consistent with policies that were already in place. Where possible, preexisting law has been noted. The “Last Updated” date was when our researchers last updated the coding for that state.
Four variables coded for On-Premise Establishments (TABLE 1) were: 1. Whether they are open for on-premise consumption (MAP 1);2. Whether they are allowed to sell alcohol for take-out or curbside pick-up;3. Whether they are allowed to deliver alcohol to consumers’ homes; and, if so,4. Whether they are allowed to deliver alcohol to consumers’ homes without first obtaining a
delivery permit.
Three variables coded for Off-Premise Establishments (TABLE 2) were: 1. Whether they are open (MAP 2);2. Whether they are deemed an “Essential Business” by the state; and,3. Whether they are allowed to deliver alcohol to consumers’ homes.
Variables had one of five answers: “YES” (that state met the variable); “NO” (that state did not meet the variable); “UNCLEAR” (it was not clear from the states’ laws whether it met that variable); “NOT SPECIFICALLY NOTED” (the state law did not address the variable one way or another); and “N/A” (that variable was not applicable – e.g. if the state did not allow delivery, then it could not require a permit for delivery and would be coded “N/A”).
Some states had very little written on their official websites. Other states did not list an enactment or sunset date for the law / regulation / proclamation / executive order. No date included on the table means that there was no date listed.
Other alcohol-related COVID-19 laws appear in TABLE 3. Sources used for all coding are displayed in TABLE 4.

A restaurant selling alcoholic beverages or beer shall prominently post a warning in a manner reasonably calculated to provide notice to customers of open container laws, which must include the following language from Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-10-416: "No driver shall consume any alcoholic beverage or beer or possess an open container of alcoholic beverage or beer while operating a motor vehicle in this state." 4. Effective immediately and until further notice, TABC personnel will conduct most inspections by telephone or other remote means for all license types.

Effective immediately the time period for paying or otherwise resolving citations without penalty is extended by 60 days, from 20 days to 80 days. 6.

On Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission page: "TABC recognizes the major impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on the alcoholic beverage industry due to mandated business closures, event cancellations and other protective measures. To help the industry during this difficult time, we're providing answers to common questions you may have. In most cases, the existing laws in the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code and Administrative Rules will apply. But if TABC can relax an agency process, or if the Governor's Office grants a statutory exception to help businesses weather global health and economic challenges, we will reflect those changes on this page and connect you to further guidance."

If the beverage alcohol is purchased by the retailer in a package that typically requires that the product retailed in portions other than its entire quantity, then re-packaging is acceptable. 2. In the absence of packaging prohibitions paper cups are acceptable. The to-go container must be sealed with a lid to discourage immediate consumption. Providing straws at the point of sale is prohibited. 3. Any photo identity document issued by the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles will constitute a valid and acceptable identification document for up to 90 days past the expiration date. 4.

LCB will temporarily not enforce the prohibitions on pre-filling growlers and crowlers under the following conditions, provided that pre-filling is limited to daily quantities expected to sell each day during business hours and pre-filled containers may not be kept or stored beyond the current business day use. 3. Until April 30, 2020, the LCB is temporarily relaxing enforcement to allow licensees with a delivery endorsement to choose to photograph the customers ID, or use other devices such as an app scanning the identification, in lieu of gaining a physical signature to document delivery to the customer. 4. LCB will temporarily not enforce the provisions related to distributors providing free outdoor signage on the premises of licensees for the purposes of advertising the on-premises restaurant or tavern location is open for takeout / "to go" business under the following conditions, provided that signage is standard, and does not contain a licensee tradename, and donations of signage are limited to restaurants and taverns. 5. The LCB is temporarily relaxing enforcement of the prohibition of minors being present in restricted areas of licensed restaurants in limited circumstances. Effective immediately, and until the Governor’s Stay Home proclamation is lifted, the LCB will not enforce the minor frequenting laws for licensees who have children under the age of 16 on the licensed premises in age-restricted areas, so long as the conditions are met and they are only engaging in curbside pickup, walk up window pick up, or delivery. 6. At this time, cannabis producers, processors, retailers and approved labs are considered essential and not required to close due to the coronavirus restrictions. LCB is temporarily expanding curbside sales beyond qualified medical patients to allow sales to all adult customers provided certain restrictions are in place. 7. Local health officers have legal authority to close businesses or put other restrictions on businesses or the public during emergencies and can supersede governor’s orders. 8. Restaurant should only collect retail sales taxes on bottle sales and therefore may sell spirits without the 17% Spirits License Issuance Fee which is collected from Spirits Retailers and Distillers selling directly to consumers, because although restaurants are engaging in a similar activity, the fee is assessed by license type, and not the activity in general.

1. Given that there is an influx of out-of-state and in-state people purchasing liquor in West Virginia, the WVABCA advises all retail liquor outlets to practice social distancing and limit the number of people congregating in any retail liquor outlet for the public’s safety and your safety. Further, if outlets find that individuals are purchasing large quantities of liquor, it would be in best interest to limit quantities per individual, perhaps to 3 - 4 bottles per person. This will also ensure enough liquor for all their patrons.
