Ew.  3.2 Oklahoma beer. 

When they changed the drinking age in Texas from 19 to 21, just mere months before my 19th birthday, my friends and I decided it was just as easy to drive 3 hours to Shreveport.  They didn't care how old we were.  That was still easier than trying to buy anything in Texas, legally.   

Boos in Terrell?  I thought there was a place in Van to buy beer?  Or maybe it was after Van.  I just thought it was further than Terrell. 

Van Zandt county is dry. Part of Gladewater is in Gregg County.

Yeah, Boo's Liquor in Terrell is about the last place until Gregg County.

Past Boo's last Friday as we were leaving Tanger Outlet Mall.  I've never been in there, but I give them thumbs up for the name.

Texas has some of the most ass-backwards alcohol laws.  We could buy kegs near campus until 9 pm.  If we wanted one after 9, we'd have to drive to Burleson.  Same way with Sundays, kegs weren't available at all.

We were driving just past the east Dallas suburbs on our way to Kilgore, and wanted to stop and get some beer for the trip.  Whatever town we stopped in on I-20 said they were a dry county.  We asked how far we'd have to drive until it was wet.  The clerk said either five miles back or 100 miles ahead.  We turned around and drove the 5 miles back. :-)

Yeah, alcohol laws in Texas are weird. I know bars can't serve alcohol after 2 AM.

Texas:  Some places you can buy alcohol and some you can't.  Some cities/district/counties will sell beer and wine.  Others will have a special to sell liquor.  Liquor stores can sell beer and wine.  Sometimes you have to drive a long while to find a liquor store, because it is very restricted.  We make special trips.  You cannot buy liquor on Sunday, but now that most of the Blue Laws are repealed, you can buy beer and wine on Sunday, after 12. 

I know in Texas they considered a law that allowed liquor stores to operate on Sundays. Many liquor stores sell beer and wine, but it is mostly liquor.

Go to Missouri.  Moonshine is sold in the foyer of churches, day care dayrooms, hospital gift shops, on public transportation, lemonade stands, etc.  24/7.

I don't know about the monshine.  I've spent time in Joplin and St. Louis.  Being from Texas I was very surprised to discover you can by store-bought liquor at the dry cleaners, the barber shop, and from the ice cream man (the truck plays "How Dry I Am").
