Alcohol Sales, Delivery & Open Container Rule Watch

Track alcohol sales and consumption rules in the United States, reported neutrally. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: state and local law changes on sales hours, Sunday sales, grocery, gas station, pharmacy and big box wine and spirits sales with effective dates; to-go cocktail and delivery law changes and expirations; open container and entertainment district ordinance changes in the 100 largest cities; alcohol delivery rule changes at DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart and major apps; state liquor store privatization, hours and price changes in control states; dry county and local option election results; ID scanning and purchase rule changes; stadium, arena and event alcohol policy changes; third-party delivery and to-go enforcement actions; and happy hour and drink special law changes. Prefer state alcohol control boards and legislatures, city councils, secretaries of state for election results, app policy pages and established local reporting; ignore industry and advocacy marketing on either side, and include no encouragement of drinking. Put the state, city or rule first in the title with the effective date. Use high severity for a law taking effect within 30 days in a state over 5 million people, a grocery or Sunday sales change, or an entertainment district ordinance in a metro over one million people. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
