Why do liquor stores...
put your purchases in a discreet brown paper bag? It's so depressing...I'm not hiding anything. They should offer a red or a yellow bag with happy faces on it, or print the name and number of a cab company...or the logo "I'm gonna get FUCKED UP tonight!" on it, not a brown paper bag...that is...unless of course you're going home to drink it by yourself...at your kitchen table in silence...with one fluorescent light bulb as your only light...then yes...by all means, take the sad brown bag.

I usually take it our of the bag and am opening it up before I even leave the store. Problem solved.

I usually draw some creature of the dark on my bag then sit in the dark on the couch with my laptop as my only "Friend".

It's actually the law in some states. Old laws that probably haven't been enforced in a long time, but still a law. When I was a kid, polite little old ladies never said "liquor store". They would call it the "packaged goods store". I still remember my grandmothers using this term in the 50s.

Most states have a law against a visual of the actual container. Same as when you buy a 6 pack, they put it in a polk (for you old farts). Same goes for liquor/wine bottles. Has something to do with children viewing the contents or something.

So they cant see a bare 6-er held together with plastic rings but they can see a picture of a can and junk on the side of a case of beer.

You mean like these ones? LCBO....... Liquor Control Board of Ontario, by the way. We used to have plastic ones, very colorful, but the tree huggers had them banned, these are recyclable.

If you're leaving a liquor store and not carrying a box to hold your purchases, you're just not buying enough.
