Sharia law in Alabama

[Guest pod]

How can they do this?

[Guest cire]

This is just more proof of how the U.S. is tooooo reserved. We are going to fall way behind with shit like this going on. They don't have to sell it as they like, and it will just add to the criminal element. This is a shame. Damn the Bible belt and Rev. Eddie Gooch (why are people listening to a guy named, Gooch?).

Not sure how this classifies as Islamic law, more like dumb, hick, Bible belt America law. When I was in Kuwait, the people at the parties running around with alcohol serving up all the Americans and Brits were, Muslim Kuwaiti's. Alcohol was illegal there and all it did was make it more expensive to buy, but still got drank the fuck up.

I said Sharia as a comparison.

;D

It's now even worse because of what you just said.

Stuff like this causes problems, people will just go to the next town over to get hammered, then drive home.

When I moved to Irving, TX, a suburb of Dallas, many years ago, there was NO alcohol sales there at all. Not even wine or beer at restaurants with food. This was actually fairly common in the suburbs around Dallas. Even in cities, including Dallas itself, that allowed alcohol sales, they had moderate to severe restrictions on who could sell it, when you could sell it, what you could sell. They have since relaxed some of those laws, but not altogether.

Lo siento muchacho.

They say in the article that it is producing more jobs, more commerce, more money for schools and the government, but they want to take it away. As long as those fools police their people correctly, and catch the drunk drivers, sounds like it should be okay.

As a professional drinker, I find this very offensive.

I see nothing wrong with this, I've lived in the south, they have a different way of life. You can't drink a sip of Alcohol in the town where they make Jack Daniels. That's right, no one can even taste test it.

You are going to tell me that people like this in Alabama are voting (at all) against alcohol sales?

Thing is though, bad ideas like this have a nasty way of spreading. Slippery slope and all...

This is like when they made smoking in restaurants/clubs illegal here in Atlanta and now every business has found a way around it. (not to sure why i thought of this) but there is always someone out there that is going to look for a way to circumvent the rules.

Jesus drank wine ???

wont this law actually enhance DUI related incidents?.. i see people driving to the next city/county to get beers/liquor then drink and drive back home

this is the stupidest thing ive ever heard of

[Guest pod]

That's what I said. People will go to the next 'wet' jurisdiction over to get tanked. Then drive home.

Some towns have weird laws, such as no kegs at WVU, so frat parties are done by the case.

Bunch of shenanigans if you ask me.

[ryan2772]

in South Carolina you can only buy mini-bottles.

They're easier to get down anyway

I have always thought no alcohol sales here in GA always sucked. I mean you cannot by alcohol and take it home on Sunday, but you can go to a restaurant and get sloshed and then drive home. Makes sense to me.

It failed to pass.
