Going from Alaska, where there were liquor stores on every corner, to Idaho (and later Oregon), where they sold beer and wine in grocery stores but liquor only in special, few and far between liquor stores, was quite a change. And in Portland, they have strip clubs in the frequency usually reserved for fast food restaurants. Odd.

Isn't the tax rate on booze in Canada like 88% anyway? Who wants to be drinking up there at all?

Until about 2 years ago strip joints in Maryland were all BYOB or pasties-only because of some lame law about selling alchol within 100ft of nipples or something.

[Mr Trout]

In Maryland they can't sell beer if the girls get funny nude. If the girls keep their impressively small undies on, they can sell all the liquor they want.

Also, this is just more second-hand knowledge, but I heard just the other day that in Louisiana you can have a container of alcohol in the car as long as it has a lid on it. Even if the lid is a plastic one on a paper cup full of daiquiri.

I'm not sure what the law says about straws however.

Until about 2 years ago strip joints in Maryland were all BYOB . . .

This strikes me as a huge positive, really, unless there's some outrageous corkage fee (or whatever they would call it).

Actually it made a lot of people go to WVa instead. Having to lug a big cooler in must've seemed like too much of a hassle.

I was just imagining walking in with a gallon of Monopolowa and a jug of OJ.

I've seen drive-through daiquiri establishments in Louisiana as a fairly regular fixture. There was some discussion of upcoming difficulties with changes to open-container laws (given as Louisiana's current open-container laws are remarkably drinkin'-while-drivin'-friendly) which might endanger them, but no word on that yet.

The last time I checked that law it stood that you COULD buy a daiquri and have it in the car as long as the little scrap of paper was still on the straw - that still stood as a 'closed container', I shit you not. The daiquris sell in plain styrofoam cups, so unless the cop could hear your order and than follow you around until you took a sip, there was almost no probable cause unless you drove erratically.

Happily, organized crime interests should be able to maintain sufficient lobbying efforts to keep the status quo. It's the one thing I love about Louisiana.

drive through funeral parlors

I need to make sure that I die in Hawaii, now.

You'd be a little west  of where you need to be, when I saw the TV special about these they were in LA. Of course.

Can't they just alter the containers? Like at 18+ clubs where the only serve alcohol in glasses and coke/water in plastic to easily keep track of who has what.

did you just pee all over the floor in here?

yes. yes I did. and no, the urine on the floor is not admissable court evidence, as it has been contaminated with other, possibly present fluids. I am leaving now, and you cant stop me, andretti.

very holy jesus, american drinking is all crazy
it's pretty plain simple over here: off-licences sell alcohol of every kind to take away, pubs sell alcohol of every kind to drink in. both stop serving at 11.
you get late bars, and clubs, but there's nowhere to buy a 4-pack or anything after 11. which is gash.

[Bobby Isosceles]

Ha, I'm a fan of this one. It doesn't strike me as really "Achewoodian," mainly because I'm hearing Dr. Andretti as having a voice that doesn't really exist yet, sort of a dead-pan cynic.
Also: Zyrelax is not a real drug.

Kelsey Grammer, of course.

Here they can't sell between midnight and 6am and can't serve after 1:59 (to prevent bars from staying open an extra hour for Daylight Saving). Oh, and a certain percentage of business (I think it's like 20%) must be food to keep their license.

[Nabubrush]

North of Anchorage about 40 minutes, they could serve until 5:00 am - making the road there very nice between 2 and 3, when all the drunkards would make the exodus north.

Oh!  Well that's convenient, since I'd like to live in LA anyway.
