COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina’s 11 p.m. cut off for alcohol sales is the last COVID-19 restriction in place statewide. Now the South Carolina Restaurant & Lodging Association (SCRLA) is asking Governor Henry McMaster to lift it before New Year's Eve.
The 'Last Call Order' was enacted in July by McMaster to help slow the spread of COVID-19. President of the SCRLA, Bobby Williams, said getting rid of it would help many businesses financially.
