Everyone gets an onsite breathalyzer... WTF? Sounds like a great way to spread Pig Flu 2010 v.

Very Stupid.

This is the PLCB's way of trying to stem the growing call for its dismantling. The state monopoly on wine and liquor sales needs to end, NOW! Perhaps a new governor will have the guts to take on this issue.

I just had a visual image:

An already drunk patron enters the store, approaches the wine machine, inserts his license and is asked to utilize the testing device. In his inebriated state, he unzips his fly, pulls out the dragon and urinates into the breathalyzer.

Those kiosks may be dumb... But I'm gonna use the Eff out of them Smile

I am curious to see how the breathalyzer works... and damnit if my driver's license doesn't scan more than 1 out 100 times. Bought beer at THE giant eagle this past weekend (arrogant bastard and ommegang abbey ale) and had to go out and send my wife in to buy it for me because the machine wouldn't read the mag strip on my ID

That reminds me: I went to the new Geagle in Robinson. Its behemoth. All sorts of crap in there. There's a frickin olive oil bar where you can fill a bottle with your favorite flavored olive oil off a tap. The fresh food area includes brick oven pizzas and a sushi chef making fresh sushi.

The beer selection is pretty much the same as you described at yours, e. There are six and twelves of everything from bud and miller up to stuff like Heavy Seas and Great Lakes. Around the side there are bigs of several Ommegang selections, all Chimays, a couple Stone offerings, the Dragon's Milk, and some other french and belgian offerings as well. Its not a bad selection and the price is pretty nice. This is where my wife picked me up a bottle of Orval for 5 bucks, which is a steal (although I didn't like it as much the second time).
