quote:

Shreveport and Bossier have local requirements that persons who sell alcohol to get an Alcoholic Beverage Operator (ABO) Card. $50 or so for 2 or 3 years. I think they take a class. Must be 18.

All us boozers up here are familiar with the cry, "ABO on register 4!" that you hear when your cashier lacks a card and has to summon someone else to scan your brew.

If multiple registers are open, I ask them if they have their ABO before I start checking out with them.


That's weird. The store I used to work at required this from all cashiers and paid for the online class and test.

When did this RV thing start in Louisiana? I worked in a convenience store and sold liquor all the time. Never had to have any kind of license. Like someone else said, just another money grab.

Pretty soon you're going to have to have a license from the state and a permit from the parish to wipe your arse.

In Ohio beer and wine are sold in every grocery store/Target/Drug Store etc.
The store needs a liquor license though to sell the hard stuff. Just need to be 18 to cash you out.

In Pennsylvania you have to go to a distributor to buy beer and liquor but I believe this is about to change. May already have.

In West Virginia they use to have ABC stores but now you can get hard liquor/beer/wine in about every store that has a liquor license. Which most do.

Indiana is weird because some counties are still dry. Driving from Columbus to the Final Four we tried to get beer at a gas station but the county was dry. Had to go to another county to get beer. Which made that drive even worse. That strip of 70W from Cbus to Indy is one of the most boring drives in the US. Flat and absolutely nothing to see.

Some states still prohibit alcohol sales before noon on Sunday which I still find strange and outdated.
