Beer sales coming to UM

[Duke Humphrey]

Good idea. Allows sales of alcohol to promote concerts and other events at their new arena and the stadium. Still cannot sell at athletic events due to state law

It sucks that we have to creep in to this. Everyone can see that sooner or later alcohol will be sold at SEC stadiums. Mine as well just jump in head first.

You may not be aware that every year for last ten or so, at least one state legislator has prepped and introduced a bill prior to each session whereby the entire local option election would be reversed statewide. Instead of saying “you’re dry unless you vote wet,” the local election law would be “you’re wet unless you vote dry.” Each year it gets more traction. It’s coming, slowly but surely. The Baptists can’t keep it back, especially when 90% of the Baptists are in favor. The tired arguments about disasters, death, dismemberment and “UNcoNTRolLeD SEx errywhere!1!11!” have fallen flat and nobody pays attention any more.

Gang rapes are a valid concern. Heard they have gone through the roof since Starkville allowed Sunday alcohol sales**

Everyone's hair reeks of whiskey in church now, too.**

change is slowly coming. the whole concept of dry counties to wet counties makes no logical sense in modern world of automobiles. you could cut yourself off from anther county 80 years ago. Now, you can go to a wet county pretty easily just by hopping in the car. all you are doing is hurting yourself from money. The same argument of lottery not being in the state until it was finally passed in Mississippi this year. Made no sense when I could drive to Louisiana or Tennessee if I wanted one. I would imagine if put to a vote in the state, the whole state would vote that every county be a wet county. I'm not sure why it's still logical that counties are boundaries for liquor sales. I would imagine even places like Rankin county would be wet if voted on now. I've lived in both wet and dry counties. It's a lot more convenient to be able to drive right down the road and pick up a bottle of something than drive to one in a wet county. I hope MS will eventually get to like a lot of other places and sell liquor at the super market, grocery stores, and pharmacies. I miss being in states that have it that open.

Do you know the difference between a Methodist and a Baptist. A Methodist will speak to you in the Liquor Store!

It is cute that those guys really think that there is NO alcohol in college stadiums.
