During today’s press conference, Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order called Last Call which prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages after 11 p.m. in all South Carolina restaurants and bars starting tomorrow until further notice. The order does not apply to alcohol sold at convenience stores, grocery stores, wine and liquor stores and retail businesses. Warnings will be issued to violators and repeat offenders could have their beer, wine or liquor licenses suspended.
