As Super Bowl Sunday promises excitement and gatherings across Ohio, state authorities urge festivities to be soaked in prudence. The Ohio Department of Commerce Divisions of Liquor Control (DOLC) and Cannabis Control (DCC) have reminded Ohioans to imbibe and indulge in a realm of safety, stressing the might of social responsibility and moderate consumption. In a release procured by The Ohio Department of Commerce, officials laid plans for locals to host or hang out conscientiously in the backdrop of this weekend's Super Bowl pandemonium.
With the game day nearly upon us, the authorities are on the ball, coaxing people to keep safety as their quarterback in every play. "As excitement builds for Super Bowl Sunday, we encourage all Ohioans to celebrate responsibly," said DOLC Superintendent Jackie DeGenova in a statement obtained by the Ohio Department of Commerce, ensuring that the spirit of the affair isn't dampened by reckless abandon. Jackie DeGenova emphasizes creating joyous memories while prioritizing the well-being of oneself and the community.
Cannabis users are also not left on the sidelines, finding themselves in DCC's compass of counsel. "It’s vitally important that any adult who chooses to use cannabis products understands the responsibility and obligation they have to use good judgement to help ensure the safety of those around them," according to the Ohio Department of Commerce, expressed DCC Superintendent Jim Canepa. At the same time, the air vibrates with anticipatory Super Bowl cheers. He emphasized legal and mature indulgence in cannabis to safeguard what surrounds us.
Partygoers and hosts are given a playbook to navigate the day's festivities, including assigning designated drivers, maintaining hydration, and serving alcohol-free alternatives. The playbook takes into account all elements, ensuring none lose their footing. Keeping the impetus of enjoyment inflamed, DOLC offers year-round resources to uphold responsible alcohol consumption, available through Ohio Liquor's partnership with the JobsOhio Beverage System, as confirmed by the Ohio Department of Commerce's announcement.
As establishments pour into the game-day spirit, the onus on liquor permit holders tightens to keep their defense up by verifying IDs and maintaining a watchful eye on guests' intake. The spirit of the law, including Ohio's open containers regulations, breathes over the shoulder of every pour and pass. "Super Bowl Sunday is about making memories and enjoying the excitement of the game," reminded Jackie DeGenova in a statement obtained by the Ohio Department of Commerce. The DOLC and DCC stay committed to their role as bystanders and enforcers of a safe and inclusive playing field for all Ohioans.
