Read our privacy policy Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro suffered an embarrassing fail when he tried to promote a new state law allowing customers to buy canned alcoholic cocktails from convenience stores – but forgot his ID. Under the new bipartisan liquor legislation, signed last month, the sale of canned cocktails has been expanded up to 12.5 percent ABV, meaning that convenience stores, grocery stores, gas stations and hotels can now sell the drinks to customers to consume off premises. Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro was marking a new state law relaxing the sale of canned alcoholic cocktails The governor’s office confirmed Shapiro put the alcohol back and no one purchased the drink for him, The Hill reported. Prior to the new state law, hard liquor could only be sold in Pennsylvania through state-run stores, while local grocery stores could only sell customers beer and wine.
