Drinks Law Is Upheld In Arkansas Opinion
The Arkansas attorney general’s office upheld the 1960 mixed drink law as constitutional. Assistant AG Michael Barker said he found no provisions conflicting with the state constitution. Mayor William Browning of Yellville sought the opinion after residents discussed challenging a private club’s entrance to sell alcohol by the drink. The 1969 law allows liquor by the drink in wet areas after local option elections while private nonprofit clubs may dispense mixed drinks in any area, including dry counties.
