Can You Buy Alcohol On Thanksgiving In North Dakota? Here’s The Answer

The holidays are a time for celebration, and some of us celebrate by having a drink or two or three with our friends and family. If you're like me, you wait until the last minute to get all the things you need for Thanksgiving festivities. We "wing" it. - I have to throw in a few turkey puns, I can't help myself.

Can You Buy Alcohol In North Dakota On Thanksgiving?

To make sure we don't run into any issues this Turkey Day, I looked it up. Here's all the info you need to gobble up.

According to the North Dakota Attorney General, no off-sale liquor can be sold after 2 a.m. on Thanksgiving. Yep, that means we need to stock up the day before, otherwise you're toast...or rather, without a Thanksgiving toast.

The source says regular rules apply for the rest of the week, with sales banned between 2 and 8:00 a.m.

Keep in mind that local ordinances may be stricter; however, Bismarck and Mandan both follow this rule.

Lyft Vouchers

One other thing: if you do plan on drinking this Thanksgiving holiday, make sure you plan ahead. Vision Zero North Dakota (ND Sober Ride) offers Lyft vouchers every year, so North Dakotans can get wherever they need to go safely during the holidays.

From our flock to yours, enjoy the delicious food, family time, and stay safe. We hope your Thanksgiving is full of gravy and good times.
