Back when I was in college, KS was a "dry state," the only places you could purchase liquor by the drink was in "private clubs."

I was stationed in Wichita from 1976 - 1981 and I sure remember those liquor laws.

Those private clubs were incredible. You had to buy a membership and then you had to bring in your own bottle of booze or buy one there (I think). You then had to buy your own booze back from them and then when you left that bottle had to remain in the club with your name on it. It was an absolute mess and that is why most of the time I just partied at the NCO Club on base since it was a federal enclave and didn't follow the state laws.

Another weird thing that happened with Kansas was when I was flying westward, and during the drink service, I tried to buy a beer, and the stewardess told me that because we were flying over KS, she couldn't sell any alcohol. She did make a note of my seat, and once we got over CO, she brought me a beer!
