In NC to drink in a club— one must “join” the club as a member. How ridiculous is that. Further, the bars are supplied their brand alcohol through a state warehousing system that buys the booze, ships it to county Alcohol Beverage Control Board for distribution to the clubs and/or sale in ABC state stores. The “profits” earned in each county for this graft ridden monstrosity, are directed to the schools. So, one could say the county with the most hard alkie drunks have the best school funding— just not the brightest students with parental role models and all. Truly an amazingly moronic system. On the other hand in New Orleans convenience stores have hard liquor groaning on the shelves and all over the place.
There are only 3 cities in North America where I know you can legally buy 24 hours a day:
New Orleans
Las Vegas
Vancouver
Funny, I never paid a membership to drink in Ricks or at the Bottom's Up, or the Flaming Mug. That must be relatively new.
Cumberland County must have an outrageous school funding budget.
