Last week, Mayor Lightfoot announced that she was 'not messing around' when she imposed a 9pm curfew on liquor stores and when they can sell booze. The curfew went into effect on Thursday.

'Far too many have been congregating at stores that sell liquor,' Lightfoot declared, according to the Sun Times.

She added: 'This is not a question of people going outside. … The issue we are addressing is people going well beyond that and, most importantly of all, congregating in a way that puts everyone involved at risk.'

Businesses that ignore the order risk losing their liquor license and other licenses. They could also be met with a steep fine.
