Liquors stores are now allowed to sell non-alcoholic items such as mixers, corkscrews and glasses, as long as those sales don’t exceed 20 percent of monthly sales.Wine and beer can be refrigerated and sold cold.
You've probably already noticed some changes at liquor stores. Whether or not you supported the state question, now that stronger wine and beer are more readily available for purchase, we think it’s important to educate you on the changes that may affect how you consume them. In the fall of 2018, Oklahoma’s laws concerning alcohol officially changed for the first time in decades. Once the vote succeeded, a two-year window opened before the new laws would take effect. After that, spirits and warm wine and high-point beer could be purchased at a licensed liquor store, but grocery stores and the like had to make do with selling only low-point beer that had 3.2 percent alcohol content, which was then considered "non-intoxicating."ĭuring the election of November 2016, Oklahomans voted yes to State Question 792, thereby creating the framework to change Oklahoma’s regulations about alcohol. This originates with Oklahoma's prohibition laws that banned the sale of alcohol outright until the 1930s. While we love to celebrate our traditions with a beer, it has historically been the kind with low alcohol content, called "low-point beer." Until recently, Oklahoma was one of only a few states that outlawed the sale of beer with higher alcohol content except in specially licensed liquor stores. One example? Our long-standing laws concerning alcohol.
We’re protective of our heritage and we don’t easily change the way we do things. In Oklahoma it doesn’t matter if we're singing about waving wheat or hollering "Boomer Sooner" during football games, it’s a well-known fact that our state traditions run deep.
