Alcohol laws are pretty strict, come with fines, jail and loss of license to sell it. I know places where if you attempt to open a bottle of beer the guy behind the counter will jump over it and commence to wring your neck. Daryl
In 1980, I was traveling from Memphis to my next duty station at Moffett Field, CA. I stopped overnight in Texas and went to a Stop-n-Rob for some munchies.
The clerk started to put my beer in a paper bag, and I told him to "save those trees"; that I didn't need a bag.
He replied that he had to put it in a bag for carry out the door, because "it was a TSBFLA rule."
I asked "The who?"
His answer was "The Texas Shitheel Baptist Fucking Liquor Authority."
Used to party with a bike club that had bought an old slushy machine. They used it to make "margarita s". By the time you realized how messed up you were getting, it was way too late.
I have to laugh. In high school I always had some ever clear for the slushy for Friday night football games.
