Distilled Spirits Council today joined movie theater operators and other beverage producers in strongly supporting legislation (A.7188 /S.5784) that would allow beer, wine and spirits to be served to adults in some New York state movie theaters.
“Adult consumers should be permitted to enjoy a cocktail while watching a movie,” said DSC Vice President Jay Hibbard. “Passing this legislation would end an archaic Blue Law and modernize the marketplace for New York consumers. Everyone should toast a consumer-friendly innovation that supports job creation and spurs economic development.”
