(WWJ) In July of this year, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a law that allows Michigan bars and restaurants to install self-serve alcohol dispensing taps.

The law was a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and staffing shortages in bars and restaurants as a result.

On a new Daily J, WWJ's Zach Clark explores the first fully self-serve bar in Metro Detroit to investigate the safety and practicality of the process.
