Mary It was that way in Alabama, too, when I lived in Huntsville about ten+ years ago. Here in TN, liquor stores can't sell beer per se (but the flavored malt liquors and such seem to be okay), nor can convenience and grocery stores with beer permits get liquor licenses. You end up with one of the greatest, best-stocked liquor stores on the planet (Frugal Macdougal's in Nashville), split by a wall down the middle. You go in one side, select your poison du jour, go through the line to pay, then go out the front door, make an immediate right, and go into the beer side. Repeat. How stupid is that? -- Herb Schaltegger, B.S., J.D. Reformed Aerospace Engineer Columbia Loss FAQ: http://www.io.com/~o_m/columbia_loss_faq_x.html |
