If you’re planning on celebrating the new year with spirits, don’t forget that liquor stores will be closed Sunday — New Year’s Eve. Wine and beer can be purchased at grocery stores that afternoon, but no gin, vodka, bourbon or other hard liquor will be available that day to spike your holiday beverages

Same here. Not against it and will have a drink once in a while but certainly not on a regular basis. It's probably been 6 months since I've touched Alcohol and I might drink two times a year at best. In my younger days I drank more frequently.
Still, good reminder POS. I can bet there will be some disappointed folks on Sunday.
They might have to celebrate with this.
Y'know it's funny... I was at a wedding in Natchitoches, Louisiana last month. After the reception, some of my wife's friends (my wife spent her early teen years growing up here) took me through the local "drive-thru Margarita barn", where you could get up to a 40 () ounce margarita or hurricane to go... but by law they couldn't give you a straw to go with it.
In Oklahoma you can buy beer 24/7, but it's watered down. Here you can buy the good stuff, but only during certain hours on certain days. In parts of Tennessee, you can buy beer 24/7, but only at room temperature. WTF?

We have a place like that in FT Worth. Called the Snowcone hut. or something like it. I have never been but friends have, and they give you a cup with a choice of 10 or so flavors of drink and they put it in a sealed container which meets TABC rules for selling beer and wine for off premise consumption. I finally figured out how they get around the law that doesnt allow you to sell liquor the same way. They are wine daiquiris or margaritas.

Nope, but I've had 'em before. We try to get back for the Christmas festival every couple of years, since my wife still has a lot of friends that live there.
Funny meat pie story - we were back for the Christmas festival about six years ago, and we were with a bunch of other people, including a guy from Boston. We stopped to buy some meat pies from a vendor, and the Boston guy asked for some ketchup. All the locals turned around to stare angrily at him, and the vendor muttered, "You don't put ketchup on a meat pie, son." I thought he was gonna get lynched!
Louisianians take their food very seriously.
