Molotovs? Really? That's what you try to sneak around with? I'm pretty sure the door guards don't even need dogs to smell that coming.
Love where the heart is, but everything else is just a fail.
Don't bring molotovs unless you're showing up with your own mob of supporters. If you can't get a mob of supporters, that's your sign to sit the fuck down.
If the security was trained to smell out alcohol, Hegseth wouldn't have made it into the building.
50ml, they're gas station one hitter bottles.
Where can you get vodka at the gas station?
They sell the mini bottles right up front so people can put them in their coffee j
Iowa.
Most of America if we're being honest.
Not really.
There is only like 35 states that allow alcohol sales at gas stations. And the majority of those are beer and wine only, maybe 7 of them allow liquor sales?
35 > 25 that's 70%.....
That would be enough to pass a constitutional amendment with the aid of Congress, and is only 5% shy of being enough to pass a constitutional amendment without the assistance of Congress.
Sorry, I should have been more specific 7 states allow liquor sales in gas stations. 35 states allow beer and wine. I was too lazy and did a random sampling of states and concluded less than half of them must not allow liquor.
But the answer is 7 at most (some argument because there are restrictions)... So 14% at best, not 70%
Legal and "legal" are two separate things and businesses get creative in how to get sneaky. Go to lower income areas where you think it isn't legal and you'll probably find it anyway.
DC specifically allows liquor sales so long as the liquor and gas are purchased separately. https://www.grocerydive.com/news/costco-workaround-allows-it-to-sell-both-gas-and-liquor-in-dc-1/536490/
Half of 50 is 25, 30 is more than 25 so remind me again how exactly is it not most states.
Because I wasn't able to comb through each state law to see if Liqour was included. But given sampling, it seems very few states do include liquor.
I have spent most of my time on the eastern side of country, so I assumed maybe it was common west, but that doesn't seem to be true either.
