Get StartedA "yes" vote on Proposition 126 allows third-party companies to deliver alcohol from grocery stores, convenience stores, liquor stores, bars, restaurants, and other liquor-licensed businesses, and makes takeout and delivery of alcohol from bars and restaurants permanently available.
A "no" vote on Proposition 126 maintains current law, which requires businesses to use their own employees to deliver alcohol. Bars and restaurants may offer takeout and delivery of alcohol until July 2025.
"[Prop 126 a]llows the smallest 1,300 mom-and-pop liquor stores across Colorado to compete with the 300 largest liquor stores to make deliveries to customers in their own neighborhoods." - Yes on Wine in Grocery Stores, in support of Proposition 126 (Learn more)
"Right now, any alcohol beverage delivery made in Colorado is attached to a license-holder for retail liquor sales—meaning if that alcohol beverage is delivered to a minor or intoxicated person, the store is responsible and can have its license suspended. If Proposition 126 passes, neither the store that sold the alcohol, nor the tech company (Door Dash, UberEats, etc.) that arranged the sale and delivery will have any liability. This would result in a huge increase in access to alcohol by teens and people who should not be having alcohol delivered to them. Independent locally-owned liquor stores have invested in the time and training necessary to perform this service safely and effectively for their communities." - Keeping Colorado Local website, in opposition to Proposition 126 (Learn more)
