LANGUISH CRYSTAL BALL: Will Caliga's county vote to repeal alcohol prohibition?

[Caliga]

I never paid super close attention to the issue, but I think only Papists think you're slugging down the actual blood and body of Mr. J. H. Christ.

Cal: are you a bedroom community of Lexington?  Where are you?

Bedroom community of Louisville.

...and AFAIK you are correct about transsubstantiation.  I can't say I am 100% sure but I believe Methodists think Communion is merely symbolic.

[Caliga]

On second thought this probably a reason against alcohol in the redneck states.

I meant prohibition.

[Capetan Mihali]

I vote no.  The last thing we need in this economy is the collapse of the moonshine industry.

[DisturbedPervert]

LOL America.

Being from California this stuff seems crazy to me too.  I can't believe there is still prohibition in places.  And in some states even if they can sell alcohol they can't do it in supermarkets.

So do the Methodists and the Presbyterians, although I assume this may vary by area...

Yes, I know.  I grew up a Methodist and we drank grape juice, but the rationale there was "we don't want to serve wine to children, and also it's expensive".

So when you say "like other Protestants, but they use grape juice instead of wine," what do you mean, exactly, considering that the other Protestants use grape juice as well?

Better question:  which Protestant denominations actually use wine (and the Episcopalian/Anglicans don't count)?

*most* states where distilled spirits are concerned.

I didn't notice at first (because I don't smoke), but while in Germany cigarettes are sold in supermarkets, in Austria you have to go to the so called "Tabak Trafik", or tobacco shop to buy them. Mostly those are small places where you can also play the lottery and buy papers and magazines. Kinda similar to not selling licquor at supermarkets in parts of the U.S.

I wish I was voting on booze in November. But no, it is boring stuff like casinos.

[KRonn]

Nah, your county retain its ban on alcohol. And well worth it, seeing how destructive alcohol is. So that's a ban which should become more widespread, what with alcohol being the demon's own drink!

There are plenty of dry First Nations communities in Canada (and a couple of dry Mennonite towns as well).

And you can't buy booze in a supermarket anywhere but Quebec.  Everywhere but Quebec and Alberta you have to buy from government-owned stores.

[Josquius]

Amusing how these dry counties always seem to be ins those states making the biggest song and dance over gun rights too.
Lets hope it does pass, I couldn't guess if it will though. Religious people are nuts.

I didn't know about this rule until a fark article a couple months ago.  I assumed you could just buy liquor at the supermarket everywhere except in a handful of dry counties in the south.  Seems very strange to me to walk in to a supermarket and not have an enormous aisle full of vodka, rum, and whiskey.

It seems strange to me to walk into a supermarket and see booze of any sort for sale.

Thankfully, I won't have to deal with that bullshit.
