This might work in the Safeway I go to. But like other places, like the 7-11 locks the beer and wine cases at like midnight, and Wal-mart has this big security gate they pull over the liquor aisle. And if I started breaking the law to obtain booze rather than just bitching about the laws then people might start thinking that I have a problem or something.

My brother lives in Washington and has to get liquor at the state liquor store. He was telling me something about how like they had a bond measure fail at the polls and so the state was all like, OK, gently caress it then. A fifth of Jack costs thirty bucks now.

I don't mind the state owned liquor stores, they have ok prices and great sales. I just want to go to 7-11 to pick up a 6 pack instead of having to pay for bar inflated prices.

I dunno, man. The idea that the state is the only body responsible enough to vend alcohol to the proles seems kind of hosed up to me. What do you have to do for that six pack, then? Like, a 12 pack of corona costs 15 bucks here.

Jimong5 posted:I think those law are in place because nobody decides to start getting drunk at 4 AM, and the only people that would buy beer that late are going to drive drunk down to the liquor store. There are plenty of people who decide to start drinking at 4 a.m. There are a lot of shift workers in this country (hospital workers, police officers, firemen, emergency dispatchers to name just a few). Just because 4 a.m. means the middle of the night to you, it seems like 5 p.m. to me after an eight or 12-hour shift. When you work shift work, you know the laws and you plan ahead, and it SUCKS. I don't give a rats rear end when I'm buying beer at 7 a.m. and the clerk looks at me like I'm from a leper colony.

M-Sat 8a-11p, sun 12p-11p. generally cant get alcohol of any sort here except in liquor stores. some grocery stores carry it but its rare. some gas stations carry beer/wine. i also lol at these threads because theres always some real bitches droning on about how you ran out of booze because of poor planning and if only you had more foresight get hosed

It's just unusual to them and truckers don't really belong to any specific space or time so why the gently caress would you care about them being all like "Thirsty, huh?" when you're loving wore out and on your way home.

Or you get up really early and hit the liquor store an hour or two before work and even though it's probably only 3 or 4PM it still feels like you're buying liquor at 5am before work on a weekday.

It really doesn't matter why, when or under what circumstances you buy beer, tho. I'm just saying it should be available to everybody at any time.

Dude, I visited my friend in Japan in January, and it owns over there for drunks. You can buy whatever you want 24/7, and apparently nobody gives a poo poo if you hang out in front of convenience stores for hours on end. Apparently that's a thing there that's totally okay to do. It was sort of fun for me because if I stood outside a 7-11 here in Cali for more than 5 minutes someone would def call the cops on me.

where i live strangers poking their faces in and running commentary about what youre buying at the store is going to be met with some hostility it doesnt bother me personally because if im @ the liquor store at 8 am i either dont give any fucks or have way more important poo poo to give a gently caress abt tbf where i live most interactions are met w hostility

Yah, same here, you can drink in public and it's not looked down on. Everybody, from your lowly transient to your student to your well to do businessman in a suit will chill out in a park or on the street knocking back a couple cold ones and enjoying the day if the weather is nice.

that is one thing i don't understand. why the gently caress cant i drink in public? i mean, i do anyway and i've never gotten in trouble for it but i don't even know why its illegal. the funny part is, the way the law is written, it hardly ever gets enforced at the individual level because the commonwealth requires the contents of the glass/can/bottle/whatever to be tested to make sure it actually is alcoholic. most cops just throw it out but will still arrest you anyway and then the case gets immediately thrown out. what does get enforced though is if i were to walk out of a bar with an alcoholic beverage in hand and an officer noticed it, the establishment can get hosed pretty well though. a well known pizza/beer place across the street from a popular sporting venue was shut down for a day because a Canadian tourist here to watch his team play against my city's forgot he wasnt in montreal or wherever the gently caress he was from.

That sounds really loving nice, man. Like my bud greeted us at the airport with a couple beers and then we got on the train like everybody else and were pretty chill and not menaces to society.

Prohibition sure did gently caress America's relationship with alcohol. This sort of thing is the fallout from it; it's like someone who was heavily molested by their parents as a child trying to have a normal sex life - that's what America is like with beer.

Like my 80+ y/o grandfather died last year of some sort of like blood cancer or whatever, and, understandably, didn't really know anything else but a ton of poo poo about blood cancer and his regrets.

You have loads of crazy, dumb uptight laws about alcohol and a weird relationship with drinking that's borne from a time when you couldn't get the stuff because it was regarded as evil or whatever: poo poo like dry counties, all the weird Sunday nonsense and - worst of all - needing to be the grand-old age of twenty-loving-one before you're legally allowed to drink it. It's like the one area where the whole "freedom" thing is slacking a bit.
