Texas Importation of Alcoholic Beverages

[cowdery]

Exactly what I was asking. I love it when this social media thing works!

You can legally bring only one liter of alcohol into Iowa as well and they can tell if it's from Iowa if it has a Iowa $.05 deposit sticker on it. I worry about getting pulled over every time I come back from KY but I only have to drive 10 miles into Iowa. I wonder what the states I'm driving through would have to say if they pulled me over?

Wade your safe here in Iowa the sodomy laws were removed from the books years ago. :slappin:

When we moved to an Arkansas dry county, I didn't know you were only allowed one gallon of spirits for every legal entity in the household (adults) , but I questioned that in that we had 2 legal partnerships, so we had 4 legal entities in our househod. Obviously, my bunker was hid in my barn under the hay. Thank goodness that stupid law has been rescinded. Unfortunatelly , the hallejula crowd is still managing to keep us in the 19th century by staying dry. When the subject comes up I always say "MO gets the tax money, we get the empty beer cans on the side of the road and the traffic accidents!" I guess some of that same crowd lives in Texas. Twice I've been in State Line Liquor and seen holier than thou types come in through the back door, one Baptist preacher and one pillar of the "Amen pew". The manager told me that if he had to close his back door, he'd lose 1/2 his business.

A buddy of mine once said that the difference between a Catholic and a Baptist is that the Catholic will talk to you in the liquor store.

And in Texas we have "baptist bars" in houses - they are full wet bars, but built with folding/sliding doors so you can easy hide/conceal them as just cabinets or wall space... Neighborhood I grew up in - fairly middle-class built in the 70's all house had them...

All of my friends houses had them that I recall - and they were openly referred to as baptist bars! Hypocrisy can be fun!

Heh! I have a 'mini-Baptist bar' then - I converted a shelf in my bookcase to hold liquor (plus bottles on top, for the - ahem - overflow, so to speak, with a small panel to keep my wife from worrying about my stash too much. :grin:

To further thread drift on the subject of religion and liquor:

When we were church shopping for a new denomination several years ago we wondered into the Episcopal Church. We were invited to a "newcomers" party, but I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of alcohol consumption. I was pleasantly surprised when we walked into the house where the party was being held and saw a table full of wine and spirits. When I expressed my pleasure to the host that there was no issue with alcohol, he responded, "Whenever you 4 Episcopalians you always find a fifth". I knew then that we had found our church home <G>

Also if you're going to take a baptist fishing with you, always take another baptist too, otherwise he'll drink all your beer.

That's a lot of programming-related literature, but I don't spy a copy of Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming. You know volume 4A came out this Spring, right?

The first three volumes are on the top, right shelf, behind the Dead Parrot and the Chick-fil-A cow. I still need to get a copy of 4a.

I stand corrected. Think he'll ever finish all 10 volumes?

Not in my lifetime. Or even in HIS lifetime. Which is a good reason to drink (there, back almost on topic :grin:).

Carrying large amounts of alcohol, even Canadian Whisky can have negative consequences:
