I don't even want to imagine how expensive it would be to buy from the bar.

Alaska - no alcohol period in grocery stores, though grocery stores can have a separate shop for beer, wine, and liquor.

Idaho - no hard alcohol in grocery stores, the state run liquor store is open from 11-8 Mon-Sat

Oregon - wine and beer in grocery stores, all hard liquor in liquor stores

Washington - wine and beer in grocery stores, all hard liquor state run liquor stores

NY is very lenient I know, but PA is even more strict. In PA you can only buy wine and spirits in state owned stores that all must have the same price.

Same at the Meijer near my school.

Also, my school gives out stacks of red solo cups and packs of ping pong balls during one of the Welcome Back events.

A Gamma Phi Beta friend of mine went to a small school in Idaho. Apparently the school hosted massive binge drinking events,

That would be the Albertson College of Idaho, and I've never heard of them doing that from anyone I know who attended or graduated, and the people I knew liked to drink.

They are a private school though, so they operate differently.

The ironic things is that she doesn't really drink often. And I think that's it because I remember her mentioning they were a private school. Who knows though, just stating what I heard.

Is NY that lenient? I've only bought liquor and wine from liquor stores; there are no chain liquor stores because of how strict the proprietor laws are. My first few years here (2003-2006) they did bar the sale of alcohol during a certain time frame on Sundays; otherwise, it's by far the most lenient state I've lived in as far as alcohol goes.

It's funny how you don't think much about these things when you're over 21.

That is true. What state are you in?

In Illinois I can buy liquor at Target! It's like a freaking free-for-all! It's strange for me, being from NY and going to college in PA.

Yes, in PA you can not buy alcohol in grocery stores. Beer comes from beer distributors and wine and liquor come from state stores. It was a huge deal when they passed a law that distributors could be open at all on Sundays, but AFAIK they're still not open for a full business day.

This upsets me because i could see someone trying to do that nationwide.

its year round no cups. it is a bummer


and, found at our local safeway in Tempe:

Haha, this is probably why I was so surprised that in other states the liquor laws are much more stringent. Gotta love the land of lincoln!

Anyone else notice that the beer pong balls are labeled as a 3 count? Apparently those who work at Safeway in Tempe can't count either...

I noticed too! I thought maybe they meant three pack for $2.29.. but they're sold individually..

Oh well. Whoever labeled them has been using them too often
