Alcohol State Question Uncorks Many Issues For Oklahoma Voters

By Brianna Bailey Business Writer bbailey@oklahoman.com It's always busy at Byron's Liquor Warehouse, but peak hours typically begin about 3 p.m. and don't stop at the bustling store until almost close. Byron's, 2322 N Broadway Ave., was one of the first liquor stores to open in the state after prohibition ended in 1959 and remains a fixture of NW 23 and N Broadway, just a few blocks from the Oklahoma Capitol. Blake Cody, general manager at Byron's, fears his customers will dwindle if State Question 792 passes in November, cutting into the liquor superstore's wine and beer sales. SQ 792 would begin the biggest overhaul to Oklahoma's alcohol laws since the state went wet nearly 60 years ago.
