Can You Buy Alcohol On Thanksgiving In North Dakota?

We all do it -- we run around at the very last minute trying to get all of the things we need for the Thanksgiving holiday. We "wing" it. (Turkey pun)

Most North Dakotans like to indulge in wine and other holiday spirits, so we have to ask the question: can you buy alcohol on Thanksgiving Day?

Gobble Up the Info:

Well, as it turns out, North Dakota's laws have a few twists --like a corkscrew!

According to the North Dakota Attorney General, no off-sale liquor can be sold after 2:00 am on Thanksgiving. Yep, if you don't stock up before the clock strikes 2, you are toast (or without a toast, if you want to get technical).

Regular rules apply for the rest of the week with sales being banned between 2:00 and 8:00 am.

Keep in mind local ordinances may be stricter, though Bismarck and Mandan both follow this 2:00 am rule.

If you plan on toasting this holiday, plan ahead! Grab you festive beverages early.

No Turkey Trots Behind The Wheel

If you do, plan ahead and are able to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with a few drinks, remember, drinking and driving is a recipe for disaster.
