Mayor Lightfoot introduced an amendment Wednesday that would permanently ban Chicago stores from selling beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks after 10 p.m.
In April 2020, Lightfoot instituted the controversial 9 p.m. liquor curfew in Chicago to prevent residents from gathering outside during the coronavirus pandemic. Stores had been allowed to stay open until 2 a.m. most days and 3 a.m. Saturdays before the pandemic. The city revived the early curfew in October to combat a second wave of COVID-19 cases.
Now, as Chicago enters the final phase of the COVID-19 reopening plan, Lightfoot wants to make the 10 p.m. curfew permanent. She said it would curb crimes and disturbances outside stores, as well as boost the pandemic-decimated hospitality industry by potentially driving more people into bars and restaurants if they want a drink after 10 p.m.

They will just break in and take all the malt liquor they want. Looters with a blm flag are not prosecuted.
They haven’t seen what the term Riot means yet. Do this and they will come to a new understanding. The Whiskey rebellion was nothing...
In over her head, big time.
Just limit sale of containers over 39 ounces.....
That means less victims on the streets at night. How is a mugger supposed to earn a living income?
This car will make a comeback.
Rolling liquor store coming soon.
A partial dry law, I think some new entrepreneurs will appear, there are always those who take advantage of opportunities
“I got your Crown Royal right here in the trunk”
“Return of the Blue Laws”
Sounds like a good B movie.
This is how it was (is?!) in Texas when I was still there.. (and also no alcohol on Sunday, if I remember correctly).
and it really will help those bars and restaurants struggling after the lock down.
Understandable as to why so many folks HATE gub mint.
