Wait wait wait wait wait hold UP a minute.
You can buy liquor by the drink?
Yea, the “liquor by the drink” reference is a reference to the time when “Bars” were prohibited in Texas from selling liquor “by the drink”; thus you had people buying bottles and going to the bars with the bottles and ordering “set ups”, i.e. coca cola or mixers to pour their liquor into. Used to be the case right here in Houston as late as, according to my Vietnam Vet buddy, as the 1960’s. Then the law was changed so you could order individual drinks at bars and such, although some Counties in Texas are still “dry” counties. And I wasn’t being facetious in the reference to an attempt to end sale of liquor by the drink.
People don’t realize it but the reason the feminist tyrants have pushed through the smoking ban is because one of their front organizations, MADD, has noted a significant decline in DWI cases in jurisdictions that have banned smoking in all bar establishments. This is never mentioned in the Marxist managed MSM outlets, which somewhat puzzles me, but I guess they are concerned that the sheeple might suddenly jolt to full consciosness, realize the connection and actually see the next two shoes to drop, (in Texas that is),i.e., 1) full statewide ban on smoking anywhere in Public, Bars, Restaurants, etc. and 2) Statewide scheme for DWI roadblocks as mandated by the Texas Supreme court ruling that said such roadblocks would be legal in Texas ONLY if promulgated under a uniform statewide scheme. Next of course they will severely increase the sales tax on liquor, Beer and Wine sold “over the counter” at the retail level, i.e. Bars and Restaurants, like a Dollar a drink, just like the Dollar a pack of cigarette sales tax increase. Finally of course, they’ll then drastically increase the sales tax on Liquor, Beer and Wine sold at the “bottle” level, i.e. retail at Liquor stores and Grocery Stores.
By then of course, they will have started the assault on fast food outlets which will force the closings of hundres of such franchize locations. All of this will force a drastic decline in sales taxes and will create rampant unemployment which of course will push the economy into the long night of recession. But hey, we’ll be smoke free, drink free and skinny because of starvation! And death by starvation will drastically reduce Global Warming!
Hey, it’s ALL good!
