Do you really think the inconvenience of going to a state run store vs a grocery store actually slows down or stops an alcoholic? Apply that logic to drug users - has it stopped them?

Pennsylvania requires you to purchase beer in either a 12 pack or case (I can't remember) - instead of singles or a six pack - I wonder how that is considered their way of cutting back on alcohol?

Responsible consumption of an alcoholic beverage isn't sinful (or against the law), using recreational drugs has one purpose: getting hiiiiiiiigh.

Quit lumping a person who responsibly drinks a glass of wine with a heroin user.

Any serious drinker knows how to plan ahead. So having to stop at a special store, as opposed to buying booze at a grocery store is no big deal. In my experience, the selection of booze at supermarkets (in other states) is lacking compared to any PA state store. Supermarkets sell what is popular and that’s it.

And you can buy 6/12 packs in PA, or buy cases. But not in the same kind of store.

They’ve actually got beer for sale in some supermarkets now, but it’s because they have jumped through the legal hoops to establish a “restaurant” in the middle of the store that is a separate legal business. So you can’t buy beer from the supermarket, but you can buy beer from the restaurant in the middle of the supermarket that just happens to be owned by the same parent company as the supermarket.
