"GEORGIA’S MERLOT-TO-GO LAW EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2008 Allows Atlanta Restaurant Diners to Take Home Unfinished Bottles of Wine ATLANTA (July 1, 2008) – Effective, July 1, 2008, Georgia’s “Merlot-To-Go” law goes in to effect allowing guests to take unfinished bottles of wine purchased with dinner home with them.

Are you serious that you can't buy alcohol on Sundays? Who are these lawmakers? Jedediah the amish farmer? They should go churn some butter!
Yes. Dead serious. It puts a serious snafoo into my drinking schedule.
If you know anyone with a restaurant, they can get one-time use tamper evident bags (as required by the new law) at http://www.togobrand.com
Saturday nights can be stressful, trying to get that minute trip into Greens and such.
