(INDIANAPOLIS) - This year, New Year’s Eve falls on a Sunday, meaning Hoosiers will need to plan ahead if they want to pop Champagne at midnight.
Indiana still has a ban on carryout sales of alcohol from liquor, grocery and convenience stores on Sundays.
There is a loophole though. Indiana laws are different for breweries, wineries and artisan distilleries. You could also go to an establishment that sells alcohol by the glass.
The next New Year's Eve that falls on a Sunday is Dec. 31, 2023. Perhaps state laws will have changed by then. A panel studying Indiana's alcohol laws recently voted to recommend allowing the sale of alcohol between noon and 8 p.m. on Sundays.
Remember to always drink responsibly and have a designated driver.
