liquor laws

Yep, PA has some weird ones as several mentioned already. I'm just glad beer distributors are open on Sundays now. I remember a couple dry Sundays that involved poor planning and a really good Saturday night.

Just remember, whatever laws you have in your state and county could be worse or become worse.



The village my daughter lives in is a dry village. Meaning no alcohol. Some of Alaska's villages control sugar and yeast to prevent home brew.



Not to get political, but as our government grows and expands it's authority of what's good us and what's not, don't be surprised if the GOV takes it all away.



Just saying. Enjoy it while you got it. :ar!

@lousubcap - our land of Ky Jelly is a strange one, is it not ?

Four Roses Small Batch is pretty damn good. I think I prefer the Woodford DO, if I don't feel like drinking scotch.

@henapple‌ And meanwhile somewhere in an undisclosed area in Da Boro TN

That's fine.  I can go on forever about it too.  But it's important to make the distinction that this isn't the federal government, this is majority rule at the local level.  If you live in a local area where the religious beliefs have infiltrated the legislature, you get stuff like blue laws.  Just look at the bible belt and even in other countries, where the government is influenced by sharia.  All that stuff is a huge threat to American Freedom.  You should be worried. 

From wiki:

Blue laws --known also as Sunday laws-- are laws designed to restrict or ban some or all Sunday activities for religious standards, particularly the observance of a day of worship or rest. Blue laws may also restrict shopping or ban sale of certain items on specific days, most often on Sundays in the western world. Some Islamic nations may ban on Fridays, and Israel often on Saturday Sabbath. Blue laws are enforced in parts of the United States, as well as some European countries, particularly in Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Norway keeping most stores closed on Sundays.

In the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court have held blue laws as constitutional numerous times due to secular rationales, even though the origin of the blue laws were for religious purposes. Most blue laws have been repealed in the United States, although many states still ban the sale of alcoholic beverages or cars on Sundays. Bergen County in New Jersey is notable for their blue laws banning the sale of clothing, shoes, furniture, home supplies and appliances on Sundays kept through county-wide referendum. Paramus, New Jersey has its own blue laws even more strict than the county itself, banning any type of worldly employment on Sundays except necessity items such as food and gasoline.

@nolaegghead‌ I'm totally understanding what your saying. I should of said governments. Using just government makes everyone think the FEDs. And to go a little further, it is the people.

And yes Sharia scares the hell out of me.

Thanks for all the interesting discussions and your input on the forum.

Where I live Greenville tx ,26k population it's been wet "beer and wine" for about 5 years. But you still have to drive 8 miles out of town to buy liquor. Its just dumb.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think about laws against wearing baggy pants in public?

Should fall under the common sense arena. I don't want to see their drawers. Just saying.

So if it's a law that tells us how to dress, f*ck, eat or something else personal that doesn't hurt anyone else, it's ok, unless it doesn't appeal to a majority?  Taste is subjective. I'm not a fan of that style, but I am a fan of personal freedom.  If you agree with that, then the correct answer would be, I don't like it, but I am for not having fashion and bedroom laws.  What's common sense?  Something that transcends cultural norm?  If it's hot, take off your shirt, ladies.  I don't have a problem with that, but there are laws against it.  Eating - should we make laws banning trans-fat food?  At least in that case society has a stake in people's health, as a productive member of society and the liability of health problems and the drag that puts on other people via society as a whole.  But that seems to be a serious issue of intrusion.   Slippery slope - let's stay the f away from them.

@stemc33‌ I was hoping for a wranglers commercial.

I heard that Utah banned sex due to concern that it would lead to dancing and drinking.

California has some pretty intrusive laws and regulations IMHO, but WRT alcohol sales it's pretty good. Beer pretty much anywhere, liquor/wine at grocery stores.

You southern States are weird. I can get whatever I want 7 days a week. Just no grocery stores, so there's that.

Well let's not pretend all of MD isn't weird, my stores in Baltimore County are closed on Sunday (except the Sunday before Christmas and the Sunday before New Years).

@ACN, True, it's a local jurisdiction thing. There are no statewide laws, per se. Even the shipping laws may fall soon now that wine can be shipped.
