True dat'. I getcha'. I still remember seeing my first "drive-thru packey" in FL. Don't know if they still have them or not. Pretty weird though.

I worked part-time at a gas station for a while when I lived down there; I do recall that the store sold 24 and 40-ouncers, as well as the standby 12-ounce variety of beer individually, kind of like you'd find with soda cans - for immediate consumption. This place was on the side of a major highway, that there was no way anyone could get to by any means other than driving.

All the rednecks would come in early afternoons, buy a couple and crack 'em right then and there. The trash cans used to be full of emptys. Scary what a regular occurrence this was. I'd say fully 60% of the cars stopping in on an afternoon would leave with the driver in some state of "above-0.0%-BAC". Very different world down there.
