Things got a lot less complicated for cold beer and wine drinkers Monday. The Nov. 8 ballot is final, and State Question 792 will be on it.

If it becomes law, it would allow grocery stores, convenience stores and liquor stores to sell cold regular-strength beer and wine.

There was an initiative petition by the Retail Liquor Association of Oklahoma to put its version of modernizing Oklahoma’s alcohol laws on the ballot as SQ 791. That petition didn’t meet the requirements to get on the ballot.

Backers for SQ 792 are locally and nationally owned grocery and convenience stores, and they have been pushing to get information about the question into the voters’ hands.

“We are really excited. Today at 5 p.m., the ballot for this upcoming election cycle will be finalized, and we know that state question 792 is on the ballot,” said Alex Weintz, spokesperson for SQ 792.

“Voters are going to have a chance for the first time in 60 years to update the state’s very outdated beer and wine laws. If 792 passes, it will mean cold, full-strength beer and wine in grocery, convenience stores and liquor stores. We think that is going to be a huge boost to the economy,” Weintz said.
