I'll be old enough to buy alcohol in 19 days!

Our county is voting on allowing alcohol sales on November 8. It's expected to pass easily - the local grocery store already installed beer coolers. With the exception of two small cities, we've been a dry county since at least prohibition (yes, that was before I was born).

Cheers

It's even driving the rural North Carolinians to drink.
I've said before that the best way for West Virginia to get off their coal addiction is to drop the legal drinking age to 18. Sure, they will forfeit federal funds, but then they can tax the heck out of all the under 21s coming in from other states like N.C., Ohio, Virginia, etc. They would make a fortune and create tons of jobs. It would become like Nevada for college students and other older teens. And just think of all the police jobs it would create. And the bail money, etc. WV will be rolling in dough.

Looks like it's gonna pass. Davidson County, NC will no longer be a "dry" county.
It's running about 2 to 1 for all four measures: allowing ABC stores (to sell liquor by the bottle); selling of malt beverages; selling of mixed beverages; selling of wine.

Who cares about all the other election night results. Big Grin

According to the OP, why would you pass a vote that is only good on one day? Weird.
