With the Alcoholic Beverages Ordinance enacted in 2016, Statesboro City Council unintentionally outlawed buying beer at a hotel’s front desk and drinking that beer in a room at the hotel. Ironically, buying beer elsewhere, such as at a convenience store, and drinking it in the same hotel room would be legal. An amendment given a first reading Tuesday will allow beer and wine, purchased at hotels licensed for package sales, to be consumed in the hotels’ guest rooms and common areas.
