i'm not a lawyer (nor do i play one on TV) but i think you are
wrong about this man being discriminated against on the basis of his
visual handicap. the liquor store will not sell to anyone w/o
a valid MA driver's license ! they don't make any distinction based
on why the (potential) customer doesn't have a driver's license.
i agree that it's ridiculous that liquor stores (and some restaurants)
accept so few means of ID but since they have been held liable for
accidents caused by drunk driving, i'm not surprised that they take
steps to protect themselves.
