If passed, convenience stores would join major grocery stores, which already carry spiked drinks.
A selection of canned cocktails is seen on the shelves of Mollie Stone's Market in San Francisco on Friday. California Senate Bill 277 aims to make it easier for convenience stores to sell canned cocktails., introduced by state Sen. Bill Dodd earlier this month, would allow convenience store owners to offer 16-ounce cans of distilled mixed spirits with 10% alcohol by volume or less.
However, Paul Payne, press secretary for Dodd, told SFGATE that those type 21 ABC licenses are expensive, and many convenience stores only carry type 20 ABC licenses, which allow them to sell packaged beers and wines. The bill would permit type 20 licensees to stock their shelves with canned distilled spirits too.
Dodd hopes that, if passed, the bill will financially aid small businesses across the state and eventually allow consumers to have more options when buying the popular drinks. “It also creates another tax revenue stream during an anticipated economic downturn,” Dodd said in a statement shared with SFGATE. “In general, it is a win for California.”
