The Alabama House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a bill that would allow retailers to use drive-through or walk-up windows to sell beer and wine to patrons. The bill passed with an amendment clarifying that all alcoholic beverages sold through drive throughs or walk up windows would be subject to existing federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations.
On the House floor Tuesday, bill sponsor Rep. Gil (R-Gadsden) Isbell also presented an amendment crafted in coordination with the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. Language in the amendment clarified the retailers that could participate in drive through and walk up alcohol sales, including convenience and grocery stores.
