I beleive that Pa's liquor laws are the 2d most strict behind only Utah. Interestingly, a few years ago a great uprising started in favor of privatizing liquor stores. The Pa Liquor Control Board hired some new guy to run the show, and he has a done a spectacular job of increasng the number of items in the stores, modernizing the stores, and reducing prices with bulk buying power. Also, liquor stores can now sell on Sunday.

I'd still rather have privatization, but I am also glad that PA is coming around somewhat.

Well, some of them can sell on Sunday. In the more populous "heathen" areas.

Yes, the state stores can now do such fascinating things like sell non-alcohol things. Like a corkscrew, or other accessories. Used to be liquor and only liquor could be sold there.

As for me, if having beer sales in supermarkets and Wal-Mart means that we will lose the vast array of choices available now in the beer distributors, I'm against it.

How about Sunday beer, last time camping there about 8 years ago we had to go into a restaurant and carry out two sixes at a time. Have they changed that?
