Be Glad You Live In New Orleans - Liquor Stores Closed in Texas Today (1 Viewer)

Be glad you live in NOLA.

Texas liquor laws require the liquor stores be closed today because of Christmas being on a Sunday.

It's not like New Orleans where you can go to a Times Saver and get a pack of gum and a bottle of vodka.

Sucks/Sarcasm...

Vodka and gum...

Now THERE'S a grocery list!

 

[whodat??]

Gotta love baseless laws.

Nine years there was enough. No good hot sausage, either.

Just ran around the corner to grab my pint o' gin. Yum!

Whenever my company has vendors coming to town for business from Texas (or almost anywhere), they are always shocked by two things: that we have drive through liquor stands, and that places like WalMart here sell liquor.

I never understood that about Colorado. You can basically walk up to the store, and put out your joint by the door, while you go grab a 6 pack of your mandatory 3.2% beer. At least they have their priorities in order.

I'd probably never buy beer if I lived there.

Can someone please explain to me why we have this law? In Lake Charles you can't buy liquor on Sundays to drink at your home, but I can go to a bar, resturant, or casino and drink all the liquor I want. It makes no sense.

because Jesus wants you to gamble and drink on Sunday

Does Mississippi still have the law that beer can't be sold on Christmas Day? I did not go to the store on Christmas, so I don't know.

When I lived in Monroe (La) they repealed the Sunday liquor law. But even though it's nowhere written into the new law, nobody will sell liquor or beer before noon on Sundays.

Here is a list of liquor laws state-by-state. I have no idea how accurate it is.
