(There have been pluses and minuses to the New Orleans rules here. But it did actually surprise me to see something so eminently reasonable happen so quickly at the hands of the government.)

I grew up in PA at a time when you *could not buy a six-pack of beer* and I went to college in Ohio, where “party stores” sold watered down liquor at full price. To see NY just snap its fingers and say “yes, of course you can have a walk-up Old Fashioned” was incredible.

Whenever I go visit my parents now, beer in grocery stores still freaks me out.

Ha, same. Although, I have lived in Pennsylvania for most of the past 15 years and I still don't totally understand why/how state stores work. I grew up in Massachusetts where at least all the beer and wine was in one store even if you couldn't buy on Sundays

For years they were only allowed to sell wine that was on a pre-approved list, and the list was compiled by someone who I don’t think even liked wine or possibly had ever had it.
