May 22, 2009 - I don't drink myself but I believe that people should have the freedom to run their businesses as they see fit. All this government regulation not only looses the business money but the state as well since they cannot tax what is not sold

May 25, 2009 - Well, not only from what he has said, but also other things that I have heard about Virginia Law. I don't remember everything, but my old room mate was always rattling on about "that would be illegal in Virginia. He seemed quite proud that the government was taking away all of their rights.

Jun 4, 2009 - . . . not even mentioning the laws regarding guns in ABC-licensed places! In Virginia, most adults can walk around with a handgun on their hip, and go into a cafe and have a drink, with no problem unless they act badly. That is, UNLESS they have a court-issued Concealed Handgun Permit and are carrying concealed. If they do, they are not even allowed to walk into a restaurant that is licensed to serve them a glass of wine with their meal. Cops, of course, may and do arrest you anyway!

Jun 8, 2009 - This video only skims the surface. It doesn't mention that restaurants have to buy their liquor at retail prices from the state monopoly -- they are not allowed to purchase products from wholesalers of their choice. What's more, they have to place their orders at least 24 hours in advance. So if a bar runs out of vodka on Friday night, they can't replenish supplies until Monday. Socialism sucks.

Aug 2, 2009 - I don't think it's socialism at all, but it's certainly reflective of the bible belt's war on fun.

Sep 1, 2009 - After living in VA for 20 years I moved to Maryland. In Maryland what a shock, You can not by beer or wine in Safeway, 7-11, Giant or any supermarket. It appears that the distribution of beer, wine and liquor is regulated by each county.

brhodes625 Says:
Sep 16, 2009 - I'd be interested to see actual facts and argumentation to back that up, fighterinferno. Unconstitutional Government Control is certainly favored by socialists, and prohibition itself, as well as continued attack on capitalistic liberties is more closely associated with American Progressiveism. Prohibition was led by progressives. It was certainly encouraged by B-belt Southern Baptists have since had a strict stance on alcohol. But if you look at the history you'll see it was never their war.

Feb 14, 2010 - Europe is socialist and they dont have all these unfair extreme alcohol laws. Its also legal there in some parts for responsible law abiding citezens to use marijuana. in those "Socialist" countries, 18 year olds who are old enough to vote and die for their country have the right to drink! They also get free healthcare as one of their services. I guess socialists are really bad huh?
tatomuck18 Says:
Feb 14, 2010 - why is it screwed up? Its trying to HELP YOU!!!
tatomuck18 Says:
Feb 14, 2010 - especially since so many people cant help themselves. SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT FOR THEM!

Mar 2, 2010 - The ABCs of Virginia Alcohol Law: A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing, always be closing. You know what it takes to drive drunk? It takes brass balls to drive drunk.
