Don't spare.  Moving here from KS was a major blow to the head.

We left our liquor behind (movers wouldn't move it) and what cost us 
about $200 there would cost about $275 - $300 to replace here.  Prices 
are outrageous.  Needless to say we've not bought any.

Not to mention it took us 3 months to find the dang store to begin 
with.   We thought for the longest time ABC Package store was a place 
you went to drop off UPS or Airborne stuff.   Pretty weird ass system 
they have here.

Would think people could get together and sign a petition and get 
something for real on the ballot and dump this puritan method of 
selling alcohol.  Considering this is the largest tobacco producing 
state I find their liquor rules ironic as all get out.
