Huaco Kid Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) They closed the State Stores, so I don't think you can buy liquor anywhere. I fully expected the riots by now, but they haven't happened. The Guidos must be greasing (get it?) the pipeline, somewhere. I was in ohio when I heard that, so I stocked up there.

They are like gun stores are considered essential here in Ohio. Dave.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago we had state liquor stores. I remember being young and it was always a place of mystery to me. It looked like a law office or something with gold lettering in the front window and the blinds were closed. You had to purchase a liquor stamp book that allowed only so many purchases a month. Most people just drove crossed the state line since it was wide open. When I was in the Army I went home with a buddy to Kansas and he took me to a private club. You bought your booze and went to the club you belonged to, gave the bartender your purchase which he marked it and made the drinks for you. When you left you could take your bottle with you or leave it for another visit. Think they still have those clubs due to strict liquor laws. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up in Ohio in the 50-60's I remember my uncle owned a hardware store . In the back was a cage with many tags hanging off of it. Folks had to select a tag of what they wanted and shove that under the slot in front of the cage. My Uncle would go get and then you paid like and would be handed the hootch under a smaller tellers window. Think old prison movies when they allowed a con to visit his wife.

Huaco Kid Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 And then, if you want beer, you have to go to a beer distributor. You can buy two six-packs at a bar. Many grocery stores are allowed to sell six-packs now, in a special section, that's not really part of the store. (When we were kids, and the kegger parties were running dry, everyone would pitch in money. The guy with the fake ID would go to a bar. But you couldn't hand over $100 and buy all the six packs. You could only walk out with two. You had to pay for two, walk out and put them in your car, walk back in, pay for two....... All the old drunks in the bar got a hoot when they'd see kids do that.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its prime nightclub area was Printers Alley. Liquor by the drink came along and spread the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
