The change in states’ alcohol laws, which Mike Whatley of the National Restaurant Association, an industry lobby, describes as “arguably the biggest since the end of Prohibition” in 1933, looks set to stay. At least 35 states legalised takeaway , and 16 have passed laws making the change permanent. Another 12 have extended it for at least a year. Without the pandemic, Mr Whatley reckons this liberalisation would have taken at least a decade.
As the Delta variant of the virus spreads and many people continue to avoid bars, takeout cocktails remain an important source of revenue. Cocktails have higher profit margins than food and other drinks. Freshly “crafted” mixed drinks elude the price-check comparisons customers make between restaurant- and shop-sold wine and beer. Whipping up big batches is quick and easy.
Not everyone is a fan. A handful of states never allowed cocktails-to-go and in a couple that did—New York and Pennsylvania—the old ban came back into force this summer. Opposition has come from liquor retailers, which have increased their own sales of canned and bottled cocktails. And public-health groups have warned that making it easier to buy alcohol will increase under-age drinking.

5 takeaways from the first select committee hearing on the Jan. 6 riotThe House committee’s first hearing included emotional testimony from police officers about the violence and racism they faced during the riot.

And let Hollywood Liberal actors bail out the criminals if there's nothing to see here, why are republicans opposing it so much? Wow, one officer testified how he was ELECTROCUTED over and over again..with a taser. So, this is why officers tase suspects over and over...attempting to mimic the 'electric chair' punishment and sentence.

Key takeaways from Jan. 6 hearing: Powerful testimony counters revisionist historyThe four officers testifying flatly rejected any attempts to rewrite history on Jan. 6 and downplay the attack as one that shouldn't be investigated further, telling lawmakers they all feared for their lives on Jan. 6. So which officer MURDERED THE LADY Too bad that the republicans will not get off the Trump bus because the majority of the country is ready to move on without them! Slavoj Zizek wrote: “The intrusion of the mob into the US Capitol building obviously also wasn’t a serious coup attempt, but a farce. Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter known to all of us as the horned “shaman”, personifies the fakery of the entire mob of protesters.”
