Do You Have A Cold Adult Beverage While Operating The Tractor?

And get this... in Indiana, you cannot purchase alcohol on Sundays... that includes non-alcoholic beer!




Indiana does allow the purchase of alcohol on sundays, but only served with food in a restraunt

In Indiana you can buy beer without food. When the law first changed the business had to sell something like one hundred thou of food sales, now they don"t.

You can't buy beer to take home on Sunday you have to drink and drive.

PA finally "allowed" us to buy beer on sundays a few years ago, after charging the distrubuters a permit fee to do so. We cant by any adult beverages anywhere but selected distributers (beer) and State Stores (Booze)...I envy you guys that can get a 30 pack at WallMart or Circle K.

I love it when we go south, can't get used to a whole supermaket isle loaded with beer, doesn't get any better than that

When I was sent to Evanston, IL, to the Northwestern University Traffic Institute in the Fall of 1971, I was surprised to see beer and wine in the supermarkets. We didn't have that in Texas. We also did not have liquor by the drink. You could get beer and wine, but if you wanted anything stronger, you had to "bring your own bottle". Before I returned to Texas in June, 1972, was when they started allowing liquor by the drink. And of course, we don't have state liquor stores; they're privately owned.

And now . . . liquor stores are open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and closed on Sunday. We still have local option, so we still have a number of "dry" areas, but generally, supermarkets, convenience stores, etc. have beer and wine. They can't sell alcohol before noon on Sunday, but can sell it after noon.

PA is after noon as well, that's fine. Nothing was worse than having a Sunday gathering and having to overbuy on Saturday, or get my wallet emptied at a bar on Sunday.

That keeps all those Baptist preachers from being drunk in the pulpit.

LOL!! We had a wedding reception at our place this last Sunday. The bride was a relative on my wife's side. The groom's crowd looked...um, well, really rough. It turned out just fine though. They were really great about not tearing up anything, definitely didn't steal anything and actually did me a favor. Since I've been a very, very light drinker (less than a half dozen drinks a year) I ended up having several cases of beer in the fridge in my pool house that were 3 or 4 years old. I always intended to throw it out but always forgot. Anyway, they drank it all.

Oh well, nobody complained and they even carried off the aluminum with them since I didn't have a aluminum recycle bin for the empties. I thought I was going to lose it when one guy opened one of the last (and furthest back and oldest) beers. He took a sip, kinda shook his head a bit, looked at the can, then continued to drink it not noticing that he still had the pull tab on the index finger of his left hand! LOL!!! I guess some of the beer was a bit older than I thought!

Jim, I remember when I was a kid, my Dad always said the Baptists and bootleggers were what kept Oklahoma dry. I never knew of my Dad to patronize a bootlegger; he bought 2 pints of cheap whiskey every October when we came to Dallas for the State Fair of Texas and that was enough "cough medicine" to last him a year. But, as I said earlier, as was true of everyone, I knew who the bootleggers were from the time I was 10 years old.

Well, when ya think about it, they it makes sense that the bootleggers would support a prohibition against alcohol. Makes for strange bedfellows.

My land is so hilly that there is no way I would find a courage to mow it without several adult beverages in my system.
