    For PA, you can get beer and wine in a lot of places

    When I first moved here nearly 20 years ago, this was not the case. You could only buy beer at special stores where you could only buy it by the case, or you could buy individual six-packs to take home at bars and taverns. Wine was only available from the state-run stores along with the hard liquor (and this is still the case for the hard stuff). Coming from a state that had fucking drive-thru daiquiri shops, this was hard to accept.

      Louisiana? Those drive-thru daiquiri shops blew my mind. I had been told that leaving a bit of paper on the straw counts as a “seal,” but when I went to one I didn’t even get a paper on the straw.

        When I lived there it was a piece of scotch tape holding the lid on. Because removing a piece of scotch tape is just too complex a technical task to possibly be accomplished in a car.

        I guess drive-thru daiquiri shops aren’t any more egregious than bars with parking lots.
