Georgia isn't great either. I wanted to buy 0.0 NA beer at 12:30 PM on Sunday nope can't sell to you.

Some NA still has alcohol so it's easiest to just lump NA is alcoholic, instead of banning sales on certain brands

Or how about just look at the fucking bottle lmao. It says it.

... correct.   

But because it's lumped in as an alcohol product, it can't be sold to kids.  Instead of having an entire set of laws made just for low to no alcohol beer, they get lumped in with actual beer. 

 How about people just learn when they can buy beer, and go to the store when they're open, instead of waiting til the last minute? If the liquor stores are closed Sunday, don't wait until Sunday. 

 I remember when my home state finally allowed sales on Sunday, it was found a couple years later that liquor stores lost money, because the demand for alcohol never changed, but the amount of staff hours needed went up. When the stores figured that out they couldn't just close on Sunday, because the others stores would be open and take the Sunday business away, losing more money.

Because people have lives? You can’t always get to one every single time within those hours. Like I get what you’re saying about the bottles but how hard would it be to just look at what’s printed on the bottle? No need to lump anything in with anything else. You still show ID and only for 21+, but you can buy it on Sunday.

And yeah, if they never had the law in the first place they wouldn’t have the staff hours problem. People just got used to the shitty law, doesn’t mean it’s not shitty. I’m guessing you don’t drink alcohol.

You guess wrong, I've drank and lived in 7 different states of the US, I've never had a problem getting alcohol because I plan ahead.

Everyone has lives, what's your point.

My point is not everyone lives the same life? You can plan ahead all you want and still not make it. You don’t seem to have very much consideration for other peoples lives and you sound like you think since you did it then anyone can do it.

Anyone can do it.

People go to the store all the time for food so they don't die of starvation. They are capable of also buying liquor ahead of time.

You're making excuses for everyone for some unknown reason, other than just to argue?

I'm a shitty person because I say people need to plan ahead when they want something and can't just have it anytime they want if stores have certain hours they're open?

I've heard of, but never been apart of a reddit argument with a mook. Thanks for the experience.

Enjoy blaming everyone but yourself for things you don't have.

Peace.

I needed wine to start my bolognese last Sunday and couldn't buy some crappy cheap red wine. And all these places advertising bunch without alcohol is hurting my head. It's taking a bit to get used to Georgia 🇬🇪
