Members light years Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 before you go out and drink, make sure there is a 12 pack waiting for you in the fridge. {censored} the 2am law:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members echoic_memory Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 yeah, I went grocery shopping last night and my girlfriend and I had picked up some beer, but it was 2:07, so we couldn't buy any. It sucks, but at the time I didn't care because I felt like {censored}. Stupid law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamoDave Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 I've lived in CA almost my whole life but spent 1 year in Las Vegas (I was 24) and I will say that it was very hard to keep a job long in a city that doesn't kick you out of the bars at 2am.

Members stompboxx Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 It's been like that forever in England, except the time is 11pm. Do what we do and binge drink until you can't talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wilbo26 Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 Thats how its always been here. I just make sure I've got booze at home before I go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joe Klink Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 Originally posted by Sir H C Unless you work second shift and are just getting off work. If that's the case and you need more booze after 2am, then that means you've been drinking on the job! I don't mind the 2am thing... at some point the bars and stores have to close so that people can go to bed. Let's say they change it to 4:30. Can you imagine the kind of people, if any, would be buying booze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd leave the club between four and five am and it is illegal to sell alcohol between 4:00am and 12:00pm on Sundays. Luckily my local bodega would oblige me, but I once had to convince a deli guy that I was a cop to get him to sell me the beer at about 7:00am when I was partying at a friends house.

Got off work at midnight. Then if we wanted to go to the bar and play pool or something we"d head to the bar, and had time for two games, and one drink, and that was it. Trying to control people, and assuming that everyone workd 9 to 5 is BS. It's not the goverments job to enforce bed times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RupertB Posted August 28, 2006 Members Share Posted August 28, 2006 Always seemed like a silly law to me though I can't remember it inconveniencing me more that 2 or 3 times in the 27 years I've been drinking. I live in a state that still has a bunch of dry counties and only sells liquor from state-run ABC "package" stores. 30 years ago, most of the wet counties didn't allow liquor-by-the-drink sales. Don't get me started on SC's liquor laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Texas has alot of the dry county stuff ( damned baptists), alot of times it's so far to the next town or county that people get drunk on the ride back home and wreck and die before getting home.

Members puddinstone Posted August 28, 2006 Members Share Posted August 28, 2006 Here in Ga you can't buy beer at all on Sundays...from like 2am on... (somebody else from Ga might know the details) The grocery stores cut the lights out in the beer cooler section. Although, you can buy it at a place that serves food on Sunday. Wierd law...
