View Full Version : Things we should have in Oklahoma:
1)Liquor stores that stay open till midnight or later.
2)Liquor stores that can sell refrigerated beverages.
3) Home delivery of alcoholic beverages.
It's been a long day...'specially for Mrs. Ike. She remarks to me that she would really really like a margarita. Can't go to the bar for one, because that would mean leaving the kid alone at the house. Can't find a babysitter at 11pm. Our liquor stash is much depleted since the move. Liquor stores are closed at 11. All she wants is one damn margarita. Is it too much to ask to have one delivered? Or at the very least, a bottle of tequila and some triple-sec?
Why is it that Oklahoma talks a big game when it comes to "freedoms" and all...unless those freedoms involve alcohol in any way.

Yeah it really sucks with the 3.2 Baptist beer. I mean I have to go to the store and buy some Guinness and I have to do it early or else I'm SOL. Then I can't drink it right then because it's hot so I have to put it in the fridge for a while. However when I go to Texas or wherever I go into a simple store like 7-11 and there's some Guinness or Sam Adams nice and cold and ready to be drank.

These are the things I really miss about Illinois...There are some benefits to living in blue states...tho I don't know about delivery...it was never a problem tho to pop down to the corner liquor store at 11pm and get whatever I wanted.

See, I don't drink all that often anymore. It's a once in a while thing for me...and often when I do drink, I don't think about it until after 10pm. This was never a problem in college, when I could just pop down to the bar whenever I wanted.
Now though, there are more constraints on my life...And I'm sure someone would raise a stink if I took my 4 month old kid into the bar with me.

Nice to know I have this entire list here in Vegas. I love OK, but yeah...the freedom to do what I want here rules...and I can buy 10.5% beer at Wal Mart, 24 hour a day liquor stores, or the Wal Mart 7 days a week.
I can also buy hard liquor 24-7 and share it with an escort.
That's not to mention how I can drink infinite mixed drinks or beers for as little as 1 dollar if I pretend to be playing slots at any neighborhood or strip casino.
I ****ing love this place even more than I hate it! lol

And yeah...We have Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Wild Oats as well as countless independent stores with similar philosophies.
And Lee's Discount Liquor...practicall every beer known to man there and hard liquor you'd normally have to search city-wide for all in one place.

4. 6 point beer.
5. Liquor sales on Sundays (I think that is a county to county law so it varies in Oklahoma).
6. Beer Sales 24/7 like it used to be when I was in college!

This problem is pretty simple to understand. "Follow the money."
The Oklahoma retail liquor store lobby showers millions of dollars each year in campaign contributions (a/k/a bribes) on the legislature in their heretofore successful effort to protect the phoney baloney status quo.
I wouldn't look for things to change here unless/until such "contributions" become illegal.

I'm sick and freakin tired of people legislating my morals. It should be legal to buy anything I want, whenever I want it. As long as I'm not hurting anyone else, it shouldn't matter.

Another good reason to have term limits. They may bribe, but you can't take bribe money forever with a constantly changing leadership in state Senate/House. It's the same problem they had at the federal Senate/House with the dramatic change from Republican dominance to Democrat dominance in a short period of time.

When I first moved to New Orleans I was astounded by the abundance of drinking establishment and the availability of every kind of beer, wine, and booze in every grocery store. I admit I kinda like it that way.
But 'splain this: I went to a grocery store in Clinton last Sunday, and bought a 6-pk of Shiner Bock and a 6-pk of Red Stripe for my favorite uncle. I didn't notice at the time, but would those beers have 3.2? They were not cold, IIRC. What's the current state of the law on beer in OK grocery stores?

If you bought it a) in a grocery store and b) on a Sunday, it was 3.2

But that's the main problem, some people drink until it's gone. Planning while being drunk isn't always so practical, trust me.
All retail alcohol sales in Thailand are banned from 12pm until 5pm. The theory goes that banning afternoon liquor sales is the only way that Thai men will actually do any work. They are hungover in the morning. But, they can work the afternoon and start drinking again at 5pm. Yeah, so planning for me is to get over my hangover and get to the 7-Eleven before noon.

Not that I care much, but all nude strip bars like they used to have when I was at OU.
Nude dancing is 1st amendment free expression! The SCOTUS case on a similar Indiana law upheld this further infringement on our rights by a narrow 5-4 margin. Justice Thomas of course crossed over from the conservative wing in favor of all nude dancing.
