April 19, 2021 Group Watch: ABC Board Preparing for New Alcohol Delivery Law
Thanks to legislation passed last week, on October 1, anyone in the state of Alabama who is 21 or older can purchase alcohol to be delivered right to their doorstep. The ABC Board is looking at how to enforce this and how to draft the rules. Businesses will have to complete an application and pay $350 in fees. According to the ABC Board, daily maximum quantities are as follows: beer may not exceed 288 ounces per customer; wine may be sold in any size container, provided the total amount delivered does not exceed 9,000 milliliters per customer; spirits may be sold in any size bottle, provided the total amount delivered does not exceed 9,000 milliliters per customer; and restaurants may not exceed 375 milliliters per customer. All alcohol deliveries from restaurants must also be accompanied by a meal.
