:yes:

Also no retail liquor sales on Sunday (Still can buy in bars). That's right... on Sunday afternoon if you run out of your favorite bourbon and still have a few more hours of football to watch. Tough ####. :hot:

Not that I've ever made that oversight before after dipping into the stash a little too heavily on Saturday evening....

Stupid ### bible beaters..... every time it comes up for a vote the damn churches bus people to the city hall meetings and then to the polls. No shtick.

I'm still not sure why religious people think that it is necessary to support legislation that makes something they don't condone (or consider a sin) illegal for EVERYBODY.

TN sucks, while there on vacation I could not by alcohol because there was an election that day. It was a FREAKING TUESDAY. I looked at the check out girl like she was bat #### crazy when she told me and started looking for the hidden cameras.......I though I was on some let see what the alcoholic does when we don't let me buy beer reality show.

 
Here in GA we just recently voted to allow Sunday alcohol sales. You can get beer most anywhere, but liquor has to be bought at package stores. Package stores are the only places you can get liquor.

On Sunday we have to wait until 12:30. But at least there is no more mad rush Saturday night to stock up for Sunday. So we have that going for us...

 
This past summer we went to visit another family on vacation in Ocean City, NJ. I got there and was like, this place is really clean, there were bikers and runners everywhere, a very nice little town. When I got in the house, I opened the fridge to look for a beer, our friends said, this is a dry town, no booze is sold. I was stunned. I was like, you voluntarily went on VACATION to a place with no booze???? WTF??? Luckily there was a giant liquor store just on the other side of the town's line.

Plan for 8 a.m. Sunday liquor sales in Chicago stallsA powerful North Side alderman wants to let stores sell liquor starting at 8 a.m. Sundays as a way to help grocers, but some of his City Council colleagues are worried about what that could mean in their neighborhoods.

As a result, Ald. Patrick O’Connor, 40th, held off asking for a vote Wednesday on his proposal to allow package goods retailers to start selling beer, wine and liquor three hours earlier. Opponents said they don’t want people loitering outside corner liquor stores early in the morning and don’t want to make it easier for alcoholics to get their hands on booze earlier in the day.

The issue is an example of the difficulties aldermen face trying to legislate for the city’s 50 wards, where problems with crime, poverty and addiction can swing widely over just a few blocks and draw deep divisions between the agendas of elected officials whose neighborhoods aren’t far from one another.

The Sunday 11 a.m. start to booze sales has been in place for “many, many decades” in Chicago, according to city Liquor Commissioner Gregory Steadman, in part because religious groups wanted to keep Sunday morning as a time for worship.

Some Chicago bars are allowed to serve drinkers until 5 a.m. Sunday, so the 11 a.m. liquor sales start time provides a what Steadman called a “cooling-off period.”

O’Connor, who is Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s council floor leader, said he decided to ask for earlier sales after talking to grocery store owners about filling empty Dominick's stores in the city. “In the discussions I had, this was just one thing pointed out that separates Chicago from the rest of the world,” O'Connor said.

Chicago statute currently allows alcohol sales starting at 7 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Many surrounding suburbs and municipalities throughout Illinois start Sunday sales earlier than Chicago does, O'Connor said.

But the change would also apply to stores that sell only alcohol. Ald. Emma Mitts, who leads the council License Committee, said residents of her West Side ward are unhappy with liquor store hours already in place.

“Frankly, we're getting beaten up by liquor establishments anyway in the neighborhood, and we haven't even begun talking about giving them a longer time,” said Mitts, 37th, who represents parts of West Humboldt Park and Austin. “In every committee I go in, every meeting, they're constantly talking about these liquor stores in the neighborhood, too many of them. And so I can say asking them for more time is not a good idea for myself to vote on at this time.”

And Ald. James Cappleman, 46th, whose ward is southeast of O’Connor’s and includes a large section of the Uptown neighborhood, said he worries about the ward’s large population of mentally ill residents being able to “self-medicate” with alcohol. Cappleman said city inspectors should do more to bring problem liquor stores to heel using existing nuisance business laws.

O'Connor, whose ward has parts of Andersonville, Lincoln Square, Budlong Woods and Edgewater, said he hopes to rework the proposal to tailor the earlier hours to grocery stores. “I’m certainly not interested in making business environments difficult for members of the City Council,” he said.

The alderman said he might seek to allow earlier Sunday sales only at stores larger than a certain square footage, which would eliminate most liquor stores but might allow sales at large liquor retailers like Binny's. Another option might be to allow earlier Sunday sales at retailers that only get a small portion of their overall income from selling alcohol, a plan similar to the “incidental sales” license for allowing restaurants to sell booze, he said.

But O'Connor said retooling the Sunday alcohol sales ordinance won't be a “front burner” priority. “We'll work on it,” he said.

I bet you're talking about Super Liquor. My buddies and I went on vacation to Ocean City one year, and we were in Super Liquor at least once a day, spending a few hundred bucks a pop, for the entire week.

Good times...

 
I grew up in California and you can get booze in drug and grocery stores 7 days a week. I still don't understand why it's not like that here, but I suppose it is the bible belt.

What makes no sense is when we had no Sunday sales here in Georgia is that you could go to a bar and get tanked and drive home, but you couldn't go to a store sober, get your stuff, take it home and sit your happy ### in front of the TV and not endanger anyone else by driving drunk.

I'll never understand that I don't think.

Yeah, fortunately a lot of GA's alcohol laws have been changing over the last decade or so. Ten years ago, you couldn't even buy beer over 6% alcohol, yet you could buy 180 proof liquor...stupid.

Years ago when I was working at a restaurant, I had a manager that would let me "borrow" a case of Sunday beer and replace it on Monday. $$$

Nominated for best boss ever.

 
Be Prepared.

That's the motto of the Boy Scouts.

"Be prepared for what?" someone once asked Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting,

"Why, for any old thing." said Baden-Powell.

The training you receive in your troop will help you live up to the Scout motto. When someone has an accident, you are prepared because of your first aid instruction. Because of lifesaving practice, you might be able to save a nonswimmer who has fallen into deep water.

But Baden-Powell wasn't thinking just of being ready for emergencies. His idea was that all Scouts should prepare themselves to become productive citizens and to give happiness to other people. He wanted each Scout to be ready in mind and body for any struggles, and to meet with a strong heart whatever challenges might lie ahead.

Be prepared for life - to live happily and without regret, knowing that you have done your best. That's what the Scout motto means.

Reminds me of the classic comment about British Rail: "Monday morning, although it arrives at the same time every week, always seems to catch them by surprise".

:goodposting: Nothing like sitting down for lunch at Noon and having to wait 30 mins for your beer :coffee:

 
We used to have the no liquor and 3.2 beer on Sunday only law

Now I can walk into a store on Sunday and buy weed legally - so hold on to hope everyone

Yeah, it's not that big of a deal. Not like you have to drive 100 miles or anything.

And I don't want anyone who has lived outside of Pennsylvania complaining about alcohol sale laws. (Except maybe Utah.)

 
You need to live in an area that is predominantly Catholic. Booze is always available here.

ETA: Went to a festival in a small Iowa town. I couldn't believe with all the people that they didn't have beer gardens setup. Damn Dutch Lutherans.

I believe that Circle Liquor is the name you are looking for (as the store is just off a traffic circle if I recall correctly)

Super Liquor is probably right. Just over the 34th St bridge. Circle liquor is in Somers Point or something. At the north end.
