screwed up beer laws

[Bosh]

When I visited Toronto there are government beer stores (no beer in supermarkets) where there's a list of beers on a bit billboard and you have to choose which beer you want from that and then the store employee will go and get it for you.

Here in Korea there's pretty much no beer laws at all except for ones against drunk driving and having to be 19 Korean age (either 17 or 18 western age depending on how close you birthday is to Lunar New Year) to buy it...

Now I'm going back to when I grew up in the Sixties in Jersey City, NJ. You couldn't buy beer or liquor (they called it package goods) after 10PM. But you could buy draft beer in quart cardboard containers for 50 cents at the bars. I used to go to the bar across the street from the school yard where we hung out and the first hot day of the year everyone was outside drinking containers (known in JC as "tainers"). Also in Jersey City at that time, women were not allowed in the bars unless it had a separate back room. There was literally a bar on every corner and everyone had there own bar where they hung out. I often wondered what the girls were doing when we were in the bars. Now most of the neighborhood bars are gone and women are allowed in what remains. They call this progress?

They don't restrict much here in AUS. As a matter of fact, they have drive thru liquor stores.



I have had many quiet ales at the "Kingston Hotel" in that video.
