I don’t know about other states, but Georgia for many years identified all of its liquor stores as package stores in a dubious attempt at propriety, an extension of its so-called “Blue Laws” which made sure no intoxicants were sold on Sundays. Georgia politicians, privately suspected to be passionate consumers of spirits, have historically been more than willing to pander to their constituents with such asinine regulations. They were fooling no one, of course. Hence the importance of the drive through, which allowed those downlow politicians and church folk to be as discreet as possible.

The only reason I photographed this place was this sign, which definitely caught my attention. It reads: “Clean & sober means I’ve had a bath and on my way to the liquor store”.
