With bars and restaurants being closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the businesses in Texas that sell mixed drinks a.k.a. cocktails, are facing a major setback.

With the current law, they are not allowed to sell cocktails “to-go.” Thus their already historical losses are even bigger than they would be otherwise.

But Kareem Hajjar, a restaurant lawyer from Austin, has decided to change this and help the spirits industry survive through the Margs For Life TX campaign.

In this interview, Kareem explains what he does, and how a temporary legal solution can help businesses in Texas stay solvent in these unprecedented times.

I’m all in for supporting this cause. And if you love restaurants and want to get your favourite drink from your favourite bartender, you too should support this campaign.

Because special times call for special rules.
