I remember grocery shopping in Ann Arbor on a Sunday morning and getting to the checkout where they told us we couldn't buy the wine until noon. Not sure why this struck me as more weird than Canada and the government controlled liquor stores.
I think we abandoned the cart and wandered around the strip mall until just past 12, and then resumed checkout.
Liquor laws are the strangest laws there are. In Georgia, you can't sell any liquor on Sunday, except at restaurants and bars that do more than 50% of their business in food. For years, liquor stores had to be able to physically separate beer and wine from liquor, so many of the older liquor stores have interior sliding doors that they haven't used in years. Grocery stores can only sell beer and wine, so I've been kind of startled by hard liquor on sale at grocery stores in other states.
In a further strange twist, in Tennessee you can wine and hard liquor in liquor stores, but not beer, which is mostly sold in grocery stores.
In Madison, you couldn't buy booze until after 8:00 AM (or thereabouts). I once worked third shift at the post office - sometimes we'd hit the grocery store after a shift to buy booze. I wonder what the grocery store employees thought of us on those times when we were just waiting there until it was 8:00 AM so we could buy booze....
We recognize no such competition here in Utah, where there is much hangwringing over the fact that approval for the president is only at around 50%. Jesus cries when the good Utah children don't love the President.
Do you have fun reminding them that Bush's nationwide approval rating is only 36%, not 50?
TMI, dude...
Crap Dammit, my edit wasn't fast enough....
Only this summer did the laws change in this state allowing liquor sales between 8 am and noon and Sunday. Still not permitted b/w 3 am and 8 am.
Ibuprofen isn't an anticoagulant like asprin, is it?
I don't think to the same extent, buf if/since you have an issue (like your eye or whatever), I'd check with your doctor, first.
(But that state sells things like fireworks! We know they are all deviants.)
I think, too, that fireworks are (at least now) illegal to
use
in New Hampshire. You can just sell/buy them there. Dirty dirty dirty Cow Hampshire.

That would startle me, too.
Ibuprofen isn't an anticoagulant like asprin, is it?
It is, although it doesn't have as strong an anticoagulant effect. If you have to watch out for that, you may have to hit your doctor up for a prescription NSAID.

It's in the same class of drugs, NSAIDs
In NS, there are about a handful of places to buy liquor that aren't gov't controlled stores. There is one BYOB resto. But Halifax has more bars per capita in Canada. No one would every call us dry. My favourite quote about Halifax is "the business of one half of the town is to sell rum, and the other half to drink it."
