New Jersey alcohol

[paulgro]

No alcoholic beverages can be sold in Food stores. They can't get a license to sell it!

[Idnew]

That's interesting. So where do you get it? Liquor Stores? http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/confused.gif

[paulgro]

That's the only place you can buy it! Let me take that back, Bars also.

[Idnew]

Up for scavenger hunt.

The same is true for Pennsylvania. You can buy beer at a beverage distributor, but not at a grocery store. I still get whigged out every time I go to my mother-in-laws in New York and see beer in the grocery stories.

[paulgro]

I know what you mean! I'm about 10 minutes away from NY state.

Georgia no alchol is sold on Sundays and some counties will not sell alchol after 11:45 unless your at a bar. Other counties I think it's 2 am

In Oklahoma you can only get 3.2% in grocery stores and convenience stores. And it still costs more here than in the surrounding states. To get anything with more alcohol you have to go to the liquor store. Can't even get Coors or Bud with more than 3.2% unless you go to Arkansas or Missouri. Not that it makes much differance since all the college kids go there to get kegs anyhow.

In Wisconsin, you can get get any type of booze you want from your local supermarket, provided they have the proper license. However, you can't buy it after 9 PM, because a couple of years ago decided that having an earlier carry out time (it used to be midnight) would help reduce gang violence in the inner city of Milwaukee and other areas. Since that time, the murder rate in Milwaukee has increased and second shifters who want to pick up a twelve pack on the way home are inconvenienced. (Taverns are allowed to stay open til 2 AM however.)

I'm wondering if they have any other bright ideas http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/wink.gif

what a coincidence. i just read something today that u can buy alcohol anywhere at any time *i think* but still, i think that these things are way out of whack!

I can do whatever I want, but only with your permission.

[Idnew]

The county I live in(stupid county) you can buy beer or wine coolers from Mon-Sat anywhere, but in the county to the North of me you can get everything on Sunday, and county to the East you can buy anything but hard liquor. One county is 15 miles and the other county is about 15 miles, but yet this **** county won't pass the liquor law to keep the money in this county.

There may not be agreement with the law. But at least people see clearly that its intent is to reduce consumption!

[Ada_Doom]

And I thought having to leave the pub by 11.30pm (11.00pm on Sundays + Public Holidays) was a bit dim. Though I still don't see why shutting half an hour earlier on Sunday makes it more "holy" or whatever! At least here that law is national.

CBranski, regarding the WI time limit on buying alcohol - that only applies to Milwaukee County and a few others.
Most of the counties that are farther away have later time limits. Kenosha, for example, has a midnight time limit.

Now just don't ask me why I moved into the stupid county that stops letting me buy liquor at 9pm...

Thanks for the info on it being "gang-related," I thought they were being dumb enough to think it was safer for people to be drinking in a bar than in the comfort of their own home...

Christian fundamentalist rednecks strike again. Free enterprise comes before religion in a secular society. Restriction on Sunday shopping and Sunday liquor sales are ridiculous and morally despicable, as they discriminate and undermine the secular state.

Sephirstein, any christian that reads the bible correctly would know the lords day is Saturday as the Jews believe. So maybe its just rednecks that keep the limits on Sundays.

[Sephirstein]

I agree with that in the Bible it states explicity that the Lord's day is Saturday. Most Christians use Sunday as the Lord's day because they view Jesus' resurrection as being more important than God's rest after creation. Thye use Sunday to celebrate both the resurrection and the resting though. And what the **** does it matter? How can one arbitrarily say that Day X or Day Y was the day God rested, I don't even know if we had the seven day week back in Jesus' time, and we know for a fact that when humans first developed the week, it lasted from one market day to the next, which could mean anything from 4 to 10 days. All this serves the illustrate what I like to call the Creationist Paradox. We have historical proof that weeks weren't always considered 7 days and days were not always considered 24 hours, yet many creationists (among then Christian Fundies, many Conservative Christians, Orthodox Jews, Hasidic (ultra-Orthdox) Jews) assume that has always been true when spouting out their BS. This is way off-topic, but my point? Run this world using secular, democratic, socialist, Libertarian, humanist, and humanitarian values, and favour free enterprise over organized religion.

That´s same in Finland. Here only Alko Oy have right to sell alcohol drinks what contains over 4,7% alcohol and the government is owning Alko Oy...

[paulgro]

In the U.S. different states have different laws. Next to New Jersey is New York. You can buy beer in their stores. Pennsylvania which borders both states have liquor stores run by state distributors...So 3 staes next to each other with 3 different laws...
