Until most of the blue laws and dry counties change in that state, they are still going to be WAY behind the times. The Southern Baptist church rules that area of the country, and they still make it a bitch to get ANY form of alcohol.

While visiting that area of the country for a vacation with the inlaws, we found a town where the liquor was in one store (simply marked "ABC Package Store.") the wine was at Wal Mart, and the beer was at some odd little corner grocer 5 miles off the main drag.

I guess the Southern Baptists want you to not spend your money on beer so they can get the money from you instead to build their Tacoma Dome sized "churches."

Sorry, my inner voice was ranting on the outside again...

It is quite disturbing.. Sometimes I wish we could move the San Andreas Fault and make a little noose with it around the Bible Belt.. Damn.. Thought I was using my inside voice too...
