About time the Liquor Lobby gets busted up.

Yeah, I think liquor stores are state owned and operated in West Virginia. If there’s one area of the law in America that’s a tangled mess, it’s the area dealing with alcohol sales. It’s a can of worms!i’ve noticed that lots of states have govt control of liquor sales
One of the weirdest: In Texas, no liquor sales on Christmas or New Years Day.What is the case between wallyworld and Texas?
I wish I could go there and buy hard liquor. Every grocery store in many other states allow liquor to be sold. I need to get more familiar with the weird blue laws still on the books in Texas.
And, of course, they are in place so as to continue the monopoly and shovel funds to the state. The laws do not stop someone from drinking what they want, when they want. It's all about state revenue.Our liquor laws are archaic. They should be revised, but aren't to serve someone to make more money somehow.
Absolutely!Damn it. I hate when I agree with Moonpie.
This law does need to be knocked down. It allows too much room for corruption.
I was in California a few years ago and noticed liquor on the shelves at Wal-Mart. Available for purchase anytime-any day.
Yep, first time I took my lady for a motorcycle ride was on a Sunday. After the first mile or two, she decided she needed a scarf. I pulled into a Quick Stop and tried to buy her $0.43 scarf (at the time); they wouldn’t sell it to me! Ahh... the days of Texas Blue Laws! P.S. - She did get her scarf; just had to distract the guy by buying some other “food” stuffs (Cokes, chips, candy bar) and “leaving behind” my change! A “five finger” discount, in a manner of speaking.Basically only grocery stores were open (and the grocery store could only sell food items, regardless of what other products the grocer sold)

My dad bought me my first handgun when I was 16. It was at the gun counter inside the big liquor store inside Wonderland Mall in San Antonio.The Walmart in Anchorage Alaska has a sporting goods department where you can buy rifles , shotguns and handguns.
Then up front as you check out there is a liquor store inside where you can buy hard liquor but it looked like the store was a separate entity like they have the fast food in some stores.
