NC Drinking Law Changes


Oct 6, 2021, 4:12 PM

Thought a few of you may find this interesting...

House Bill 890 was recently passed by Roy Cooper

Here’s the major changes:

Online ordering via the state-run ABC stores is now permitted, as well as the sale of refrigerated beverages.
College sports fans can purchase 2 alcoholic drinks at a time, rather than just 1.
As of Oct. 3, distilleries are now allowed to sell bottled liquor on Sundays between the hours of 12-9 p.m.

Another interesting aspect of the bill is that it allows cities + counties to create “social districts,” aka outdoor areas where people can consume alcoholic beverages sold by designated establishments.

We’re not quite Bourbon Street, yet though — the creation of these social districts comes with rules. Here’s a few:

The district has to be clearly defined with signs posted to indicate what area is included, as well as the days + times that alcohol can be consumed.
The city or county will create management + maintenance plans and post them on their website, including a rendering of the boundaries of the district.
Drink containers must identify the establishment where the beverage was purchased, display a logo or mark unique to the social district, cannot hold more than 16 ounces, and must include a statement reading "Drink Responsibly – Be 21."

I cannot tell you the number of times that

I have been sloshed and getting ready to order another drink when I see the little caption on my cup and remember I need to drink responsibly.

it is a proven deterrent, without a doubt

Seeing that really makes a man think.

I leave my glasses at home when I visit social districts.

It absolves me of responsibility because I couldn't see the slogan.

I’m going to sue if they don’t have

an equal Anti Social District where I can stumble around in the middle of the street and drink in peace without a bunch of naybobs pestering me.

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov
Panta Rhei Heraclitus


Could thing they're including that statement on the cups!


Oct 6, 2021, 5:19 PM

If it wasn't for phrases like that, I probably would have drank irresponsibly underage.
