No weirder than any of the other bible belt states. SC is really bizzare. 
Don't forget Utah, talk about screwy. PA wasn't much better. So we are not 
alone. And I'm glad to see you figured it out. Just remember that bars and 
restauraunts pay on average 30% more for their liquor than you do in the 
ABC store.

I think you underestimate the forces you are going up against. We still 
have dry countyies and some extremely conservative politicians catering to 
the religious right. Though I have noticed things get better in the 20 
years I've lived in NC. But if you feel you must, fight on. I think you 
think about the fact that Jack Daniels is produced in a dry county 
Tennesee up until 1995. It still has no liquor by the drink. So in the 
grand scheme of things we're doing ok....
