OK! That's it!!!!!   Everyone QUIT driving their car to any place that
sells alcohol.  This logic says that NO person can purchase alcohol if
they came to the store with a car. That is unless they can prove they
will not consume it until they get home.

Really stupid logic. Sure, lets ban the sale of EVERYTHING that could
possibly be used illegally. 

Where I live, it's illegal to drive my car on the roads in summer with
studded tires. I am sure glad the local tire store actually sold me a
pair of studded tires at less than 1/2 price last week just to get rid
of them. Wow I feel lucky I got them cause he didn't refuse to sell
them untill winter just in case I might use them before then.
