Ron Goulart, Fort Oglethorpe city managerThe Fort Oglethorpe City Council will have a final reading and vote on several alcohol ordinance changes at its Monday meeting.
One of the changes would allow people to sample small amounts of beer and wine before purchasing carry-out items in a sealed container, City Manager Ron Goulart said.
As of now, that proposed change would apply to only one business: Beverage World.
Consumers would not be able to sample more than three one-ounce samples in a 24-hour period. Goulart said that it would take a person who drank the maximum amount four days to drink the equivalent of a can of beer.
Sam Kubilus, Beverage World assistant manager, said store management contacted Goulart about changing the ordinance so customers could make more informed decisions before they purchase products.
