When I moved to the South, although we lived in New Orleans, the city with the most liberal liquor laws in the country. I was amazed on a visit to Mississippi and find out how difficult it was to buy wine and beer. In most counties you can only get it in a "package" store and in some not at all on Sunday. I don't drink, but I do like non alcoholic beer. I went to a market on a Sunday to by O'douls and the checker refused to sell it to me. I pointed out it was non alcoholic and she said it was still beer. Being the smart ass that I can be I went an got some root beer. I put them side by side and said "These are both beers and both non alcholic." She still would not sell it to me. Now New Orleans was the other extreme. All alcohol all the time. They even sold alcohol at my son's youth soccer and baseball game. The soccer coach used to drink a beer during parctice. At any rate, it is so good to be back in California.

I was once in Wal-Mart on a Saturday night around midnight and saw a guy who got in line on Saturday get denied a sale because it was indeed technically Sunday when he was checking out.
