While the dust has mostly settled around the results of last Tuesday’s historic election, we continue to get reports from around the country on voters approving of alcohol beverage sales in one form or another.  Here’s an update.

For the first time in 70 years citizens in Angelina County, Texas will be able to purchase alcohol beverages — because voters approved Proposition 1 and 2 which allows beer and wine to be sold for off-premise consumption and mixed drinks to be served  in restaurants and bars (without customers first having to “purchase a membership”).

And in Haywood and Hardeman Counties in Tennessee voters approved liquor by the drink — which means if you go to a restaurant or hotel in either of these counties you’ll be able to order up your favorite drink (in those establishments that have obtained the proper license).

Residents in Weller Township,  voted to “go wet”.  In other words you will soon be able to by a beer, wine or mixed drink in a restaurant in that town.

Similarly, voters in Zeeland, Michigan have ended a century-old ban on alcohol sales so someday soon (that is, relative to the 100 year ban) you’ll be able to get a drink at a restaurant or buy alcohol beverages at the grocery store.

Also, voters in Dawson County, South Carolina voted to allow the package stores in that county to open on Sunday.

Lastly — and to update you on an item my colleague mentioned last week — voters in Oklahoma approved a measure that will permit alcohol sales on election days.  Halleluiah.

Numerous other measures regarding the sale alcohol beverages were voted on last week and we’ll continue to update you as those results come in.
