another reason I'm moving to Texas and not Florida

Texas is weird with booze too.  Sounds similar to Florida.

Grocery stores can only sell beer and wine.  And you can't buy after midnight (or 1 AM on Saturday night/Sunday morning).  And you can't buy booze before noon at a grocery store on Sunday, or 11 AM at a restaurant but only with a food purchase.

You have to go to a liquor store for hard liquor.  And no hard liquor can be sold anywhere, on Sundays.

Edit: You can buy cocktails at a bar on Sunday after 12-noon.  But you can't buy packaged liquor on Sundays.

If Fearless is worried about weird booze laws, he'll have to avoid everywhere in the South.

California is probably where he needs to be, not sure they have any laws at all out there regarding purchase of hooch.

I'm not sure if I can buy Everclear at the grocery store...

...because I've never looked. 

But we can buy hard booze at the grocery store. 

Seems you can buy pretty much anything else, anywhere, any time. 

Oddly all the people who think that selling liquor at the grocery stores, or having the big box booze shops like BevMo or Total Wine, will put the mom & pop liquor stores out of business haven't been to California. We've got plenty of those too.

some say if you are protecting your booze supply, you're an alcoholic

I say you're just smarter than the average drunk

Lincoln had a city ordinance back when I was living there, maybe still do, couldn't buy booze on Sunday.

Everyone knew to stock up or the nearest spot just outside of the city limits to restock

Right, and I already answered "how could it be a good thing" - sacrificing some ticket sales for NATIONAL relevance.  It's wrong and pretty stupid, but it may yield gains in ranking spots, awards, etc.  Maybe even the difference between being ranked 5th and 4th one year.
.
Plenty of eastern programs get talent from CA, but how often do west schools poach OH, FL, or LA?  And while I don't have evidence (again!), I'd venture a guess that more talent flows east than flows west.  If the little kid in Chattanooga who grows up to be a top recruit has never seen Washington play isn't going to sign with the Huskies. 

I dunno, most Eastern and Central time zone folks are more likely to watch any of their local teams than the Huskies, even if they're on TV in the noon time slot. 

Would maybe the 9 AM kick be better than PAC12 After Dark, for national relevance? Maybe. But I'd rather they avoid both time slots.

Here you just learn to stock up on Saturday.  It only took a handful of rushed beer-runs during commercials of a Sunday noon-Central Cowboys game, before I learned the value of the Saturday stock-up.

As for hard liquor, well, if you're a grown adult and don't have a liquor cabinet stocked well enough to get you through a Sunday, then I think you're probably beyond help.

Have I talked about the real deal here?

If it flies, bites, crawls or stings... it lives here. Year round.

[Brutus Buckeye]

Nevada has some pretty lax alcohol laws. People walk up and down the streets drinking at all hours, day or night. 

What year are they moving the Pac 12 CCG to Vegas?

they have most of those things in Texas, but not all of them. and not as many.  too dry

Amen!

But the beaches are way nicer than Texas.

FF should definitely move there.

[MrNubbz]

Well if FF is strolling around the beaches it automatically ups your  everyone's chances with the babes

[FearlessF]

the only thing close to a beach I'm strolling around are the sand traps on the golf course
