H's friend just came over to watch Super Tuesday results. They already took the basement over. I'm going to use this as an excuse to not work out tonight.
In my state bars can sell alcohol after 9AM on Sunday, unless St. Patrick's Day falls on a Sunday, in which case they can start at 6AM (they passed this law just a few years ago). We are, apparently, very serious about St. Patrick's Day.
That is amazing. Boston is so serious about St. Patrick's Day but apparently they need to step up their game ...
Also something I love about not being in MA anymore is being able to buy wine and beer in the grocery store! So much more convenient. They give liquor licenses to very few grocery stores in MA and I never lived near one.
I just looked up our laws, you can buy alcohol in Washington State from 6am to 2am. We used to only be able to buy beer and wine from grocery stores, any hard alcohol had to come from the liquor store, which I believe were closed on Sundays. But a few years we voted to change that and now we can buy all the liquor in grocery stores (and Costco!). At a super high tax rate of course.
Unless your Lynden. It's been a while since I was there on a Sunday but I'm pretty sure you still can't buy alcohol on a Sunday. I think they still cover the display racks too.
kleigh you can only buy liquor in liquor stores in NYS. Grocery stores can sell beer but not wine. I remember it was a big deal when Trader Joes first opened in the city because they wanted to sell their Two Buck Chucks, etc. and they ended up having to split their store to have a separate liquor store.
There are plenty of states where you can buy all types of alcohol in grocery stores and drug stores, including mine, and it is quite convenient.
TheEleventhHour, we are just a short drive from Boston so they can feel free to drive up at 4AM to start their St. Paddy's Day drinking at an appropriate time.
I'm a little jealous of the states/towns where you can buy wine/liquor in a normal store. We can buy beer in a grocery store but that's it. I think in NY (and Florida?) you can buy all of the above even at a CVS... Very handy.
Same here. In PA, you can buy 6 packs in some grocery stores but other than that you have to go to a beer distributor or liquor store for your booze.
Yes!!! PA is the worst!! I have lots of family there and most don't drink, but a few of us wanted to grab some beers...we drove all over god's green earth figuring out how to get some! Ended up at a pizza place that had to-go 6 packs.

Really? I could've swore I used to see wine or something in the CVS by my old workplace (in white plains) but maybe I'm not remembering correctly (?)
Thanks. It really does suck. They guy I was talking to at the insurance marketplace said he wants to write an angry letter on my behalf. Lol made me feel a little better, but having that thousand bucks back would make me feel a hellva lot better.
We didn't even make money until almost 5 months into the year, but they just use a blanket household income as the whole year.

Yeah before they started selling 6 packs at grocery stores, you could only buy full cases at beer distributors. Some bars would sell you 6 packs but a lot of them would sell each bottle individually. So a 6 pack could end up costing you $30 or more!

NY- Beer in grocery stores. Wine and Liquor at the liquor store.

Wait, you could only buy an entire case of beer?! That is nuts. What if you don't want a fucking entire case of the same beer?! And a $30 6 pack?! Yikes. We are lucky to now live close to some amazing breweries so we usually just get growlers filled.
In my state you used to be able to buy 190 proof grain alcohol at gas stations. They finally did away with that, but other than some limitations on the hours, places like Rite-Aid and CVS have multiple aisles of just liquor.

easilyunamused that sucks. It's not cool that they base your income standards off of the whole year, but then look at your health coverage month to month. 2014 I didn't have coverage for 10 months because H was unemployed and I was self employed. Tax time 2015 comes around and they're all "oh! Look at all this money you made in October! We are going to fine you for not having insurance in February!!11!" because that makes so much sense.
I grew up in Utah, and no alcohol anywhere except the liquor store. Where I live now there is the beer aisle, the wine aisle, and then the hard liquor end cap(s) at every major grocery store. It's taken some getting used to!

MH said he thinks you can buy 12 packs at beer distributors now but before you could only buy kegs, cases, or 30 packs. I don't drink beer but he's definitely grateful that you can buy 6 packs at grocery stores now!

Well now I know where not to go on Sundays to buy alcohol. I had no idea!

It seems a little rude of my pizza place to have posters saying to make healthy choices. If I wanted to make healthy choices, I wouldn't be grabbing food here.

Your pizza place is judgey.
Eat all the pizza!
Like, why have posters about it at all? Lol Maybe they're trying to get their salads sold faster....

I can't believe I'm not 100% sure of all the liquor laws here. Only some grocery store chains sell alcohol which is annoying, none are too near by. Otherwise there are separate liquor stores. I can get alcohol 7 days a week thank goodness.

See above. If it was less than 3 months you are fine. There are also other exceptions listed such as more than 8% of income...then no penalty.
It's actually 2 consecutive months. For some reason they throw 3 out there, but when you read the fine print, if you go more than 2 months you are ok. 3 in a row you are fined. Go 2 in a row and then later in the year have 1 month, you won't get fined. I've been pouring over this for hours trying to read everything.
