Buying hard liquor in the grocery store in Oklahoma?

[nofearfactor]

I dont want to pizz off any liqour store or convenience store owners here but damn I wish I could buy my hard liquor, wine, and cold highpoint beer in the grocery stores here when I'm gettin my groceries like I can back in California. Plus I have to bring my favorite microbrewery beer that I can only get there here with me when I come back from there.

One thing that I'll tell you is lips that touch liquor will never touch mine. I'm not one to judge, but it sounds like somebody's letting the Devil get a toe hold.

I completely agree.

I agree too. My own question would be, "what's the point of alcoholism if it won't help you sleep?"

When I first signed up for alcoholism it was an infomercial on Tv. Three payments of 39.99.
It wasn't all it was cracked-up to be.

Missouri sells liquor in walmart. That joplin walmart that got destroyed by the tornado, first time i went in there i was surprised. Just like in kansas they sell cold liquor.

I agree, stupid laws. In NM, they even sell liquor at Walgreens, and on Sundays!

However, because of the laws here, there's so many liquor stores, I have two within 2 miles of my house, so it's more convenient than going to a grocery anyway.

Liquor stores and whole sellers have the monopoly. They don't want any competition...period. Why give up selling "normal" beer for a great profit AND make your competition(grocery stores/gas stations) sell the cheap stuff.

Don't fall for "it will allow or promote underage drinking". Every time I get into a discussion that gets brought up. My response..."I agree, stop all alcohol sells at all sporting events...Thunder, Redhawks, Barons...etc". "Children and minors are at those games and you wouldn't want them exposed to unnecessary alcohol." That usually shuts them up.

Then you get the liquor store owners stating if that happens, they can't compete. B.S.!!!

Let hard alcohol stay in the liquor stores...they could also sell wine and beer. Wine and strong beer/ale let it be sold in stores.

To help liquor stores compete, let them sell cold beer and wine, food, tobacco, and hold vendor sampling.....basically...DO IT LIKE TEXAS DOES IT!!!

Also, let breweries and brewpubs be allowed to sell you a growler full of beer. Yes, a growler...look it up.

If Oklahoma wants to compete with the big boys, it needs to start changing restricted laws. Don't know if its true, but I keep hearing the reason Costco and Central Market refuse to come to Okie land is because of our crazy liquor laws.

Texas ain't perfect, but at least their liquor laws make sense. I wish all the old Baptists would go ahead and keel over and take their blue laws with them. Liquor by the wink..., that was a good idea. Not.
