Yea, a lot of the small liquor stores are worried. The big stores love it.

There is a convenience store next door to a liquor store just up the street. The are owned by the same folks. Employees can go from one to the other, but customers have to go outside to go to the other store. All these years in Oklahoma liquor stores could not sell anything that did not contain alcohol. So they could not sell a cork screw, or a bag of ice or any "mixers." That changes as well.

When Prohibition was repealed in 1933 nation wide, that did not apply to Oklahoma. They had state prohibition. Just like national prohibition it was mostly ignored. My dad said it was great, he could call one of two bootleggers and they would deliver whatever booze he wanted to his door in short order. In the 1950 a sheriff in OK county decided to enforce the law. After arresting several judges and politicians, they all decided to end prohibition. Our state constitution states that beer with 3.2% alcohol is not intoxicating (yea right) so it was always available.

Many states have some really stupid booze laws. I remember in Pennsylvania I went to a local gas station and saw no beer. So I asked. I was told "Oh, you have to go to the beer store for beer" so I asked where the closest one was.

I walked in an they had a cold beer cooler the size of many homes. Everything was by the case ONLY! So I could not get just a 6 pack, I had to buy a case of beer. Oh well. It was a lot of fun walking down the long hall of the hotel toting a case of beer to my room. As least it had a fridge.
