Prop 126 would allow alcohol delivery by a third-party delivery service directly to customers. Currently any establishment that sells alcohol may deliver the alcohol to customers, but must use their own employees.
Bars and restaurants have only been allowed to offer takeout and delivery since 2020. If Prop 126 does not pass, that option for bars and restaurants is due to be repealed in July 2025. Bars and restaurants are limited to 2 bottles of wine, 12 cans of beer and 1 liter of spirits per order; Prop 126 does not change that limit.
Recommendation: No/Against
Overconsumption of alcohol can lead to violence and bad decisions. Alcohol is best consumed in a safe environment. Do we really want to make it easier to drown one’s woes or build up one’s ego with alcohol?
Consuming alcohol with a meal is preferable to drinking without consuming food. Perhaps the state legislature should consider allowing restaurants to deliver alcohol with food beyond 2025.
