Alcohol To Go | Should restaurants keep selling beer, wine and mixed drinks with take-home food orders?

During the business shutdown intended to help stem the spread of COVID-19, Texas made a move to help struggling restaurants restricted to take-out and delivery orders improve the bottom line.

The state temporarily allowed restaurant customers to purchase beer, wine and mixed drinks to take home along with their food.

Now Gov. Greg Abbott wants to make that option permanent. And a state senator plans to file a bill to that effect.

We want to know what you think. Do you support allowing restaurants to sell alcohol to go? Or are you against the idea?
