Remove Drive-Thru Liquor Stores

The Issue

Ohio is one of the few states that still permits drive-thru gas stations where customers can purchase alcohol without leaving their vehicles. While these businesses may appear harmless, they contribute to a dangerous culture that normalizes drinking and driving. By placing alcohol directly into the hands of drivers, these places remove barriers that are typically put in place to prevent drunk driving. Drive-thru gas stations and convenience stores that sell alcohol should be banned.
