Fallin signs bill to allow cocktails in theaters

Gov. Mary Fallin acted on all but two of the remaining bills from the 2017 legislative session, including a measure that allows cinema-served cocktails.

House Bill 2186 was one of 16 bills signed on Tuesday, less than two weeks after the Legislature adjourned for the year. She also vetoed three.

Fallin had until the end of the week to review the bills and act on them.

The legislation makes a fairly simple change in law — movie theaters will now be able to sell beer and mixed drinks without segregating its clientele into an adults-only section. The change would make theaters on par with other public places like arenas.

People who buy alcoholic drinks would still have to obtain and wear a wristband or hand stamp signifying they're at least 21 years old.

Okies can't do without alcohol long enough to watch a movie...
We can pass a bill legalizing booze in theaters, but can't implement real ID.
