ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) – New Missouri alcohol laws will go into effect Saturday.
Senate Bill 126 allows for restaurants to continue selling “to-go” alcohol drinks, which first started at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020. The law will allow for mixed drinks to be sold and consumed off-premises provided:
- The alcohol container is durable, leak-proof, and sealable, and does not exceed 128 ounces
- The customer must have ordered and purchased a meal simultaneous with the liquor purchase
- No more than two alcohol drinks may be sold per meal serving
- The licensee must provide a dated receipt for the meal and alcohol beverage(s)
- The sealed alcohol container must either be:
- Placed in a one-time-use, tamperproof, transparent bag which must be securely sealed
- The container opening must be sealed with tamperproof tape
The law will not allow liquor licensees to sell mixed drinks in typical “to-go” cups or containers that have a lid with an opening for straws.
Senate Bill 126 also allows alcohol to be sold by the drink and at package stores from 6 a.m. Sundays to 1:30 a.m. Monday, the same hours that apply during the rest of the week.
