Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday signed into law a bill—HB879—which allows the at-home delivery of liquor, wine, and beer, across the state by grocery stores, restaurants, bars, convenience stores, and even some package stores. The new legislation excludes breweries and distillers and could take months before businesses can actually take advantage of the new bill, according to a report from the Atlanta-Journal Constitution (AJC).
Georgia’s Dept. of Revenue still needs to draft the actual regulations which would outline how the law will be enforced. It’s also not guaranteed that any given city, including Atlanta, would adopt the policy, which is at the discretion of local municipalities—kinda like that pesky “no alcohol sales on Sunday” legislation.
Under the order of Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, the city’s restaurants since around the start of the novel Coronavirus pandemic have been able to sell alcohol to-go. That order remains.

Having read this I believed it was extremely enlightening.
I appreciate you finding the time and energy to put this information together.
I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time both reading and posting comments.
But so what, it was still worth it!
