Can't choose between whiskey and Wheaties? Now you're closer to getting both — at the same place.
A bill allowing grocery stores, retail giants and other stores to to sell liquor in the same space as other products was approved by the Florida Senate in a 21-17 vote Thursday.
Currently, liquor must be sold in a side store separated by a solid wall. Similar bills stalled when they've come before legislators over the past three years.
According to the Distilled Spirits Council, Florida would become the 28th state to allow the sale of liquor alongside wine and beer.
The measure must be approved by the House, where an identical bill is ready for a vote after narrowly passing through committee. If signed into law, it would be phased in over a five-year period.
