Ordered a bottle of wine with lunch in New Orleans once and saw the waiter nipping up the road to buy it through the window. They didn't have a bottle in the place and it was supposedly one of N.O's finest!

Huh...I wonder what N.O's finest tastes like? I didn't even know they had a major wine industry [just looked it up...they don't. Only a little one.]peter (USSM) wrote:Ordered a bottle of wine with lunch in New Orleans once and saw the waiter nipping up the road to buy it through the window.

So it COULD have been one of N.O.'s finest---they just ran out, cuz there isn't very much.

Oregon allows wine in supermarkets.Vraith wrote: Hmmm...rules vary by State here...I don't know if there are any supermarkets where you can get wine. I'm trying to recall if CA had wine in supermarkets way back then...I'm tempted to say yes, some did, but it was really shitty chain wines? Could be full of crap on that.
But there are the liquor stores...
Washington allows liquor in supermarkets. (That one surprised me the first time I walked through a Fred Meyer and saw a stack of vodka with a sale sign!)

Washington allowing liquor in groceries and not just state stores is only a recent development, a couple years older than the cannabis legalization. Costco had a lot to do with financing that initative, since it both allowed them to retail it in their stores and to compete with distributors as a restaurant and bar supplier.
Booze prices are higher than when we had state stores...but availability is better.

Heh. NY [I think it's the whole state] grocers---even Walmart---can, and do, sell beer. But no liquor.Avatar wrote:Supermarkets here can only carry wine. No beer or spirits. For that you have to go to the bottle store.

OTOH, Minnesota is weird. I've never looked at what/how the law is, just that normal stores [at least near me] don't have any booze. BUT, the mini-mart/gas station down the street has some beer...but it has [and has to have, I think] 1/2 the alcohol content of exactly the same beer in a liquor store.
And the mini-mart with it's 1/2 strength beer is the only booze you can get on Sundays. [though the law might be changed soon? I think the change comes up for debate by tradition every year. And apparently the biggest funders for the peeps to continue "No Sundays" are the liquor stores.]

Hah---I'm sure that will help.Avatar wrote: Now, there's a push to re-instate it in the fond belief that it will reduce alcohol abuse...

Hee---you know what apparently DOES reduce alcohol abuse?
Legal pot.
I'll drink to that.
[might reduce violent crime, too. Both of those are preliminary indications from what I've seen...so don't quote me.

Hee hee...
Remember Beer Goggles, and how they make you see things?
[[and boy that classic "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On."]]
It turns out the Goggles are REAL! [is anyone surprised???]
Remember the criticism that being drunk makes YOU think you're more interesting, but you really aren't??
It's a LIE! You really are more attractive to others when you're drunk---well, at least when you've got a little buzz on.

Have a drink on me.In addition to perceiving others as more attractive, a mildly intoxicated alcohol consumer may also be perceived as more attractive by others. This in turn may play a role in the relationship between alcohol consumption and risky [[vraith insert==by "risky" they probably mean "fun"---they just have to act like prudes to get respect. Unless they're lying evil scum-buckets like Dr. Oz]] sexual behaviour.
