The Ohio Liquor Control Commission on Friday morning voted to approve the request from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, who had proposed a new order that would stop the sale of alcohol at Ohio Bars and Restaurants at 10 pm. If a drink is purchased before 10 pm it must be consumed by 11 pm.
DeWine is expected to sign the order today and it will then go into effect statewide tonight ( Friday night).
Dewine says this is to limit gatherings and spread of COVID-19.
