CORINTH, Miss. (AP) - The Corinth Board of Aldermen has approved an ordinance governing the sale of liquor inside the city.

Corinth voters approved the sale of alcoholic beverages in a Dec. 11 special elections.

The Daily Corinthian reports (http://bit.ly/WmZLu1 ) that the ordinance generally mirrors the regulations of the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control division. The city will ask the ABC for variations regarding by-the-drink sales in restaurants on Sunday and the hours of package stores.

City Attorney Wendell Trapp says an ordinance typically becomes effective 30 days after legal publication in the newspaper. It is also unknown how long the ABC will take to consider the city's requests for exceptions to the rules.

The ABC regulations do not include Sunday sales at restaurants, but cities may petition the ABC to allow it.
