While it’s considered illegal in Virginia to walk around in public while drinking alcohol, a new bill could virtually change that.
Virginia Del. Will Wampler (R-Abingdon) sponsors the legislation that would create what’s being called an “outdoor refreshment area.” It would allow a person to, within reason, sip an alcoholic beverage outside a cafe, bar or hotel without police batting an eye.
“I think people really want more space to gather,” Wampler said. “They want to support small and local businesses. What this bill will do is allow them to go in, order food, order a beverage – including alcohol – and take it out into the outdoor refreshment area, enjoy their community.”
