The ones I've seen let you buy it if you have a growler.

Because the ATC fast tracked changes in regulation that allow for it.

ETA: This article is about bars complaining about not receiving equal treatment, but it gives you the background: LINK

It was on the local news last night that ABC (or, whatever the agency is that regulates such things) amended their rules for package buying of alcohol for to-go orders to allow restaurants to do it in response to "no dine-in" rules. It's temporary, I believe they said.

Previously only liquor and grocery stores could sell quantity purchases to take out.

My question is who is paying $30 for a six pack from a restaurant?

Restaurants here can now give margaritas to go with your take-out food order.

It's actually not that bad of a deal. $9 for build your own 6 pack

Went in to pick up lunch from a restaurant yesterday, and they mentioned that they were doing to-go alcohol sales. They said they just sold a bottle of liquor to a customer, easily 3x retail pricing, with a liquor store one block away that carries the same item. Meh, I guess convenience is worth more to some.

could it be that alcohol in any form - packaged, prepared drinks, etc - have a higher base tax, so it is more about gov't revenue?
