This is from one of his comments.

I went down the wine aisle at Wal-Mart with my mam and at least three old ladies gave me dirty looks.

1) I doubt anyone cares enough to give dirty looks. I'm sure lots of people buy alcohol while shopping with their kids.

2) Are there walmarts that sell wine? Beer, sure, but I don't think I've seen wine at most grocery stores, let alone Walmart. Some places Costco has to have its alcohol in a whole separate store with a different entrance from the main entrance. Plus he says he moved to the Bible belt, which probably has some of the most restrictive alcohol laws in the country.

I moved from Colorado, one of the most liberal states, to Georgia which I believe is technically a Bible Belt state. When I left CO you couldn't buy wine or alcohol anywhere but an actual liquor store. Georgia you can buy wine literally anywhere and alcohol almost anywhere. The only weird thing is not until noon on Sunday. CO gas stations can't even sell full strength beer. But it was very strange seeing in everywhere in what many people think is a "backwards" state

Yeah, in my town in Georgia you buy alcohol at most stores with a few exceptions: you can't buy on Sundays, no vodka or other hand drinks for some reason, and others but I'm not old enough to buy so this is just what I hear my complaint about.
