yeah it's called a blue law and I think they are so pointless. I don't even know why they are still on the law books.

Blue law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

if you go to the link you can scroll down and see the different states that have the restrictions.

No, it's not even that good. I think it tastes like a carbonated version of those horrible juices you can get in plastic containers. Plus, they all dye your mouth, and the blue dyes it really, really blue.

Ew. You mean these?

That sounds disgusting.

Oh yeah. Those are what I'm talking about - it's really pretty gnarly. I think I'm just going to stop after this one I'm drinking, and just donate the rest to a friend's refrigerator booze stash.

I have no idea - I know that Lexington and Richmond, KY don't have that law, so I guess it's not statewide...I just live in a "moist" county, and my city is the only one in the county that allows sale of alcohol at all. Seriously. Aside from a few restaurants which were able to get liquor licenses, there's no alcohol sale at all. Technically, they're not supposed to sell anything with an alcohol content over 8% at a convenience store here (I don't know how the Tilt slipped under their radar and was allowed to be sold at gas stations) but I guess they got away with it somehow. And yeah. I think it is a religiously motivated law. There's literally 30+ churches in town...that I know about.

Makes sense..thats the reason why this county still prohibits the sale of alcohol at any stores other than resturaunts. Unless the churches can find a way to justify it..Example..they allowed a winery to open, and any resturaunt you go to sells every kind of beer and alcohol you want. If you want your own personal booze though you have to drive 30 minutes to the closest store. Of course no hard liquor on Sundays for sale though or past 9 on any day its allowed for sale.

Yuck. I can at least buy alcohol and liquor in my city...provided it's not between the hours of midnight and 8AM or on a Sunday. Also, restaurants here are only allowed to serve alcohol if more than 75% of their sales come from food. Even going to Ohio and West Virginia to buy alcohol sucks - in Ohio AND West Virginia, I can never buy liquor after 10pm - or on Sundays. In Ohio, they sell beer until 1AM, and in West Virginia, until 3AM; fortunately, I'm within 10-15 minutes of both states (for late runs). It's still not ideal, though.

My only gripe with buying alcohol in PA is that you can't get it at UniMarts and stuff like you can in some surrounding states. I'd love to walk to the cornerstore and buy some booze.

I love how whenever I come back here after a while I pretty much always bump this thread.

Anyway;
