The N.C. Sheriff s Association is questioning the legality of how cocktails and other mixed adult beverages can be transported through the carryout service permitted by Gov. Roy Cooper.
On Monday, Cooper issued Executive Order No. 183, which permits businesses to offer carry-out and delivery of cocktails between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m.
Businesses offering the option must hold permits from the state ABC Commission. The order lasts through at least 5 p.m. Thursday.
Meanwhile, state Treasurer Dale Folwell is citing Cooper s order as another example of the governor giving Council of State members little heads-up when seeking agreement for a statewide order.
