With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, many people are mentally preparing to be around a lot of family members.

Sometimes, to deal with certain families, you may want a little drink to get you through the day.

Will Michigan Party Stores Be Open On Thanksgiving?

"The short answer: It depends on the state. Some liquor store hours are determined by local and state regulations, while privately owned stores can stay open or shut their doors on Thanksgiving depending on the whims of their owners."

If you need a little drink to handle the in-laws on Thanksgiving, you are in luck.

It seems like Michigan party stores will be open on the holiday so no need to fret!
