packy runs"?

 

[Schadenfroh]

sigh America...

we're secular, but not really, but we ARE secular, but not really, BUT we ARE secular, but not really... etc. etc.

Meh, Louisiana is probably +90% Christian and it has the most liberal liquor laws in the nation. You can purchase cocktails at drive-through windows:

Frosty Factory is one of the few things I miss from home...

Cool story, brah.
In all seriousness, It is rather nice that you can get jacked on Sundays now in Georgia.

 

[deadlyapp]

Shiraz is hardly considered alcohol. You can't even buy wine or beer on a sunday?

yeah... It's more about sticking it to the super religious than anything

Nope nothing.

Anyone know how similar a Shiraz is to a merlot or a malbec?

packy runs"?

It's a local term for running to the Liquor store. In Mass, Liquor stores are also called Package Stores, so running to the packy means running to get booze.

lol, and I thought the fact that the State owned Liquor stores in NH were bad enough. Many are actually their own rest stops on the major highways.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Blue Laws. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_laws

Technically, in Mass stores can't sell booze on Sunday either, but border communities like mine are exempt to protect tax revenue.

Incorrect. The laws have changed over the last couple of years. Beer and liquor can be sold on Sunday after noon time in all of MA.

I bought a bottle of Jim Bean and that German liquor that tastes like NyQuil today in MA. Burlington considered a border region? They must be really lax on what they consider border communities.

He's misinformed.

 

[UberNeuman]

Bought a bottle of Shiraz. Never tried it. Had plenty of beer so didn't want to buy more.

Now when will I have to stop driving to the county line to buy hard liquor...

 

[Capt Caveman]

Yeah, his neffing is annoying.

 

[deadlyapp]

Depends on what quality of shiraz it is. Shiraz/syrah are typically quite a bit heavier bodied than merlot and malbec, which to me are typically thin and too fruit forward.

You'll also get cheap australian or south american shiraz that is very fruit forward, heavy alcohol content, and pretty tasteless, so they'd compare well with merlot.

2 Questions:

1) Shiraz is a strong spirit in America?!
2) Why do you have to drive to a different state to buy alcohol?

 

[alfa147x]

ugh... this guy...

Well since I've never tried it before I got a cheap bottle: Yellow Tail Reserve

You're an idiot...

 

[HAL9000]

Nope, I'm not, you just made a thread about how you don't have to drive out of state to buy "hard liquor" because you just bought a bottle of wine without doing it...

 

[JulesMaximus]

You can buy beer, wine, and hard liquor in the supermarket here in CA... even on a Sunday. Hell, even Walmart sells vodka, it is overpriced though.

So you're admitting to being stupid?
