My hometown had (and I think still has) at least one drive-through liquor store. I have never been through the drive-through, so don't know if you can get liquor by the drink
You used to could get liquor in bottle and beer in cans at drive-throughs in Chicago. But I haven't seen it served to drivers by the drink, even in Texas!
Now, in parts of Texas one could *walk* up and get beer in a go-cup. New Orleans, too, as I recall. But I would not be shocked if these traditions, hallowed as they may have been, have been put paid to.
Big Daddy's Drive Thru Liquor, Covington, KY. But I hear they were shut down for a while for serving minors, so don't know if they've reopened with the to-go cups. (No family in the area any more, so I've seen the last of Covington, Baal willing.)
I had a roomie for a year in grad'school who was from Covington. Maybe from that school too, as he went undergrad at Xavier and ended up teaching at a Cath school. Anyway, spent the first few months pining for his fiancee, often with declarations that he was a 'true-blue-Kentuckian '.
By the end of the year he had dumped the fiancee in favor of another student in that Dept.
I knew you were going to write about the Covington jerks but I didn't realize you would give me fodder for nightmares. President Honey BooBoo. Holy crap.
Just so. I was coasting along, enjoying the colorful evocation of juicy, self-adorig masculinity - quite mouthwateringly depicted, Master Edroso - and then came Honey BooBoo.
One must draw the line somewhere.
Best regards, but please don't use that trope again,
The U.S. electorate contains some interesting people.
". . .as if I, who have pictures of black people on my wall,"
(Just by coincidence, those pictures all have the word "Wanted" as a caption.)
Covington, KY, the only city I've ever been in with drive-through liquor stores, by the bottle or the drink.

Very funny, but also incredibly depressing. Sort of nihilist, but not for nothing.
I never promised you a rose garden.
Sigh. Though to be fair Senator Crenshaw and President Boo-Boo might be an improvement on Cruz and Trump.
Oh god. Well it’s a call to arms at least. Aristocrats, priests, entrails, etc.
That's the spirit!
Anecdote !!

Never struck me as a privilaged asshole, though.
BTW, thanks for including the "white power signs" link - interesting article.

PS to Dr BDH: Your prayer has been heard.
Well, I mean, who else will the GOP go to after Trump?
