North Carolina has Beer and Wine in groceries (no sales on Sunday before noon) and Liquor in state stores (Mon-Sat 9-9, no sales on Sunday or Election Day). This is saner than it used to be: until about 15 years ago, we had a wacky law that said you could only sell hard liquor by the bottle and not by the drink -- which meant that bars would sell you a glass of tonic and a tiny airline bottle of gin for you to mix into it yourself.
Police procedure has changed since I was little.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's the work of atheistic, America-hating liberals. Only in Utah is the true worth of our divinely guided government recognized.
I always wonder what people who mutter about godless liberals think when they realize that so many of them are concentrated in places with better economies, lower divorce rates, and a marked lack of the natural disasters that serve as divine retribution.

That happened with I was in South Carolina 14 years ago, wonder if they still do it.

TDS did a segment on this and DH was convinced it had to be fake. (Though they did make it seem like a much more recent change -- they had bartenders pretending to not know how to handle the full-sized bottles, none of whom were old enough to be bartending 15 years ago.)

Oh, maybe it was South Carolina in the segment. It was a while ago.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
my mouth hurts. I am dealing with it by re-reading emails regarding mac.
My parentals met some of the folks from the agency (it's in WA, so we've never seen each other). goodtimes. They dropped off bottles of hand sanitizer and a couple pairs of boys' shoes.

I want to say SC held onto the minibottle silliness much longer -- maybe until the last year or so? -- but eventually got sane, or at least saw the possibilities of a whole new category of liquor taxes.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I know one of the states around Tennessee still had that a few years ago - Curtis has hilarious stories of college students coming into Nashville for football games and wondering where the bottle was.

I tried to buy beer last Sunday in Alabama, and the cashier laughed at me. Speaking of: Hi! I'm back from Alabama. It's still there.

Indiana has no alcohol sales on Sunday.
The one exception is wine sold at the winery where it is produced. This has encouraged many small wineries (some smaller than a garage) that make very bad wine.
