AJC: Alcohol Ban

beej67 said:
The funny thing is the biggest people in favor of the Sunday ban are the liquor store owners, because they know people will buy their Sunday booze on Saturday, which means they get to sell 7 days worth of booze in 6 days.

I've heard that. But it's never made sense to me.

That's like saying they could just be open on Saturdays only, and people would buy a weeks worth just on that one day. Think of the overhead they could save by being open just 1 day a week.

:rolleyes: You cant compare extremes. Im sure they could be open 1 day a week and still make the same profit PERCENTAGE, but not the same profit total.
 
From my experience Sunday beer runs are most crucial for two reasons. One is that no matter how much you buy in preparation for Sunday on Saturday, inevitably the challenge presented to you by your fridge is too tempting and you consume everything in it. The other reason is how else do you then procure beer when you go shoot the hooch on a Sunday afternoon? Floating down a disease infested river inside the perimeter isn't best done sober.
 
Be glad you don't live in Utah, where the maximum alcohol content for beer is 4.0% by volume.

Georgia wasn't much better up until a few years ago. It jumped from 6.0% to 14.0% in '04.
 
everybody ready for sunday?

--btw--posting at 11:35 saturday night

You thanking too much :biggthumpup:
 
I'm for keeping the bluebook laws, if only because of them, some of the best stories I know are a result of people trying to circumvent them. My brother and best friend trying to drive to Tennessee to get beer(they might sell it on Sunday), then driving an hour up 75 before realizing they'd gone the wrong way. 11:55 beer runs, while slightly housed, and having barely english-speaking store owners harass me. Good times.

I'll say this though. Living in PA, which not only doesn't sell booze on Sundays, but commits the ultimate sin by not selling beer in a grocery store, or even liquor stores for that matter... I'd take the Georgia set of whacky laws anyday.
 
What really pissed me off in Buffalo was the liquor stores were closed on Tuesdays, for gosh sakes TUESDAY. My only day off and I can't get liquor.
 
Just last night I made an 11:59pm beer run to the BP on Northside...they were kind enough to unlock the fridge for me and let me buy it.

Dumb law.

Seperation of church and state ftw.
 
I'd rather they push towards breaking up the state-sponsored triopoly of liquor distributors. I can buy my alcohol on Saturday night.

Alcoholics can't plan 7 or 14 days in advance. They can certainly plan 1 day in advance though.

Sonny says, "No need for those drunks to plan ahead at all. Just get out those keys and get piss drunk at the local Red Lobster. No one should drink at home or alone on Sunday!"

Reminds me of a mid-80's Harry Anderson bit where he says something to the effect of:

For God's sake, don't try to walk home drunk. Get in a car, where you'll be safe, and then drive home as quickly as possible.
 
This is absolutely ridiculous. Why is the State not allowing citizens to buy alcohol? The State has absolutely no business in doing such a thing.

It seems to me they're trying to be a Moral Authority by stating it is not looked well upon to drink alcohol on Sundays. The thing is, although it tickles these too good for you Christian Conservative types to no end, the government is not to project morals on the general populous.

It is up to each individual to decide what's in their best interest.
