If you don't like alcohol then don't drink it. Fair enough? Keeping sales out of your town does nothing but hurt in the long run. Business don't want to relocate, revenue is lost, less tax dollars. It's time for people to wake up and get a clue. I'm a Christian, law abiding man that enjoys a cold beer or a good bourbon from time to time. Does that make me a sinner? a drunk? a wife abuser? Come on folks, it's time to get real. Do you really think alcohol is not around just because it's not sold in town? I'd much rather someone pick up a six pack and take it home then drive to the next county for a drink then drive home.
