Question for you USA'ers

[marcus]

I have got to agree with the OP. Maybe it makes me a communist, but I think that our liquor laws are retarded too. In our state, there is no alcohol sold on Sunday morning. Apparently god has a problem with it or something. However, when an NFL team came to Charlotte, apparently god found enough leeway to move the Sunday morning ban back an hour so people could get schnockered for the game. WTF?

Try living in ass-backwards Georgia - no alcohol sales on Sundays......at all!

[SouthPlatteDemon]

The most retarded thing about the liquor laws is that liqour is legal while marijuana is illegal. Now that's retarded.

[Horse Called War]

Colorado Liquor Stores are open until 12:00am and closed on Sundays, and you can only buy hard alcohol at the liquor store. You can only buy 3.2 beer at the grocery stores and quickie marts 7days a week.

Joke alert

"Only good things from Canada are hockey players and whores"

"what?, my wife's from Canada"

"oh, what team doe she play on?'

[thetroy]

The liqour laws are indeed retarded. That includes the drinking age, though Canada is hardly any better in that respect.

guns aren't outlawed here. But never let the truth get in the way of good story I have to admit though, I feel so much more vulnerable since they made it harder for the average city dweller to get military weapons.

man, why do people come to Australia and bitch about the flies? And the heat? And the hot topless chicks on the beach. People come here to check out the Great Barrier Reef or the outback or the Sydney Opera House or Surfer's Paradise and then bitch about everything....

Why do American's travel the world and then bitch about how they can't get a New York Cheesesteak just like home? Why do people holiday in third world countries and then bitch when they get the runs? gods forbid you go somewhere and discover that it's not quite what you'd imagined.

and just in case anyone misinterprets this post as anything else than a bit of funning, I'll load it up with a few smilies Seems some folks were so busy draping themselves in the flag they overlooked the sarcastic wit (and the smilie) in Freyr's original post.

Quite. Some of you yanks make me fucking laugh. I think it's mostly the tartan, ooops, plaid trouser the fat cunts seem to like wearing abroad. And here's a wink so you know this is a joke right. Class that as irony, and no, irony is not the place Ironians come from...

I think I've said here before that I've found most of you colonials OK, it's just unfortunate that there are just some right twats amongst you who bring down your general regard outside your borders.

I bet most of the ones obsessed with big guns, lack a big gun themselves.
Can you see what I did there, can you, can you?

Just to add PA's laws...liquor and wine are sold in stores owned by the state. Beer is sold only through licensed sellers and then only in cases. To get a six-pack or less you need to go to a restaurant. They just recently let these stores be open on Sundays, but it's super-limited hours, like 12-5.

You can imagine my amazement when I travelled to Germany. There were guys drinking beer in the train station at 7AM!

Having tasted what passes for beer* in America, you might as well put water in with the hard stuff.

Now some of the micro-brewed stuff is nice, but the run of the mill shit I had in most places there. Ikk, you should shoot the anheuser-busch people, they are selling you their wee!

Yeah, we ended up buying Heineken, because it was the only beer there that could get us drunk. Come to think of it... Spivonious, I think you just answered another question I had... when we woke up in the morrow, and started drinking again, some of the yanks we were with just stared at us. Kinda creapy.

Blech, Heineken? I can't stand that stuff. Where are you? New England somewhere? You should definitely be able to find some Molson Canadian or Labbatt Blue up there.

Yeah drinking in the morning is taken here as a sign of a drinking problem

Completely OT: Nova Scotia is a fantastic province. My family and I took the Cat over from Maine and had a great time driving around the southern part of NS.

[rjohnstone]

Man I love living in AZ.
Beer, Wine or the hard stuff 7 days a week.
Available from 6 AM to 2 AM Mon - Saturday. You get 4 hours to sleep it off before it goes on sale again.
Sunday they make you wait until 10:00 AM before they start selling.
And yes... Buttwiper is horrible beer that smells like old socks.
I prefer Guinness myself.

Yeah, there was all kinds of Blue... but ever since I started drinking Olands, Blue has just tasted like water. It used to be one of my favorites, but now it's all Keiths, or Olands.

Speaking of which... if you're ever in NS again, goto the Olands brewery... awesome stuff there.

Guinness doesn't really travel well I've found. Once you've drunk it in Dublin, there really is no comparison. Plus is turns my poo a funny colour.
