News summary

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro faced an awkward moment when promoting a new law allowing the sale of canned cocktails, as he forgot his ID and was unable to purchase the drinks at a convenience store. The legislation, which he signed, permits sales of canned cocktails with up to 12.5% ABV at various retail locations, aiming to raise $137 million in new revenue. During his visit to Rutter's gas station, Shapiro attempted to buy multiple cases but realized he exceeded the legal limit and lacked identification. Despite the embarrassment, he joked with staff before leaving empty-handed. The law marks a significant shift in Pennsylvania's strict alcohol regulations, which have been in place since 1933. Shapiro's spokesperson emphasized the importance of following the law, highlighting the broader context of recent changes to liquor sales in the state.
