Governor Jindal signs bill into law legalizing Alcohol Sales in Movie Theaters

Gov. Bobby Jindal has signed legislation that will likely result in more residents washing down their popcorn or Twizzlers at movie theaters in Louisiana with a bottle of beer or a liquor drink.
Jindal's office announced Friday (June 20) the governor had signed Senate Bill 654, sponsored by Sen. J.P. Morrell, D-New Orleans, legalizing the sale of alcohol under certain conditions at movie theaters.
The law allows commercial film theaters to obtain a liquor permit as long as the alcohol sales are separated physically from other concessions. People under 18 must also be banned from entering the area where alcohol is sold.
The state commissioner of alcohol and tobacco control currently has discretion to issue alcohol permits to movie theaters. The law sets up a process by which any theater could apply for a permit and receive it upon meeting those requirements rather than be subject to the whim of the commissioner.
Theaters would also be required to get approval from their local government to sell alcohol.

This is an update from the alcohol at the movies thread a few days ago. Good to see this get through and Jindal does something that's actually small gov't conservatism.
However, I don't like the idea of the bold, what do you think?

I'm terrified to think of how much a mixed drink at the movie theater would cost.

Yes, that's what people need in a theater; a place where you're supposed to be quiet and calm, alcohol. Brilliant thinking on this one.

While this is cool, I'll probably never do it. Drinks will be retarded expensive and I don't want to have to worry about having to piss the whole time.

If I'm paying $11 to see a movie, I want to be sober as hell.

Wow! How backwards are you guys? They've been selling beer at Japanese movies theaters since the silent movies era.

Theaters are places where thugs hang out anyways. Expect more violence, I guess.

Your state is behind the times again

And let me know when it's legal to chief at a movie theater. Now that's progress.

I'm assuming it would be treated like a bar, where you have to have a liquor license.

Yeah these have been in Texas for as long as I can remember. They are not your regular amc theaters like some people in this thread are thinking. They are special really nice theaters that you have to be 18+ to go to.
I can't wait for these to start popping up here. My biggest issue with going to the movies is the teenagers that talk and play on their phones the whole time.

I definitely support this. Doubt I'd drink at the movies due to pissing every 30 mins. But still cool.

And the drunks get drunker

I completely agree with your post, good to see us moving forward and Jindal not squashing something because some baptist got their feelings hurt. I also disagree with the bolded part but small victories are progress in the anti progress state.

That's how zoning and liquor licenses work, though.
