And back to the original topic, all blue laws ever accomplished here in SC was to make bootleggers rich!
Since Mayor Bloomberg has also outlawed consumption of salt, I doubt 16 ounce big gulps will be required! It won't be long until you can't buy red meat, anything fried or deserts containing sugar in NYC. Post-dinner smoke or cocktail? Totally out of the question. Some will agree, others will disagree but "the greater good" doesn't have a damn thing to do with laws like this, it's a control ploy nothing more, nothing less. I for one have a lot of heartburn with the government regulating things that should clearly be individual choice. What makes this law especially ridiculous is that I can't buy any drink over 16 ounces in size. If however I want to buy 5 refills of a 12 ounce coke then I'm in good shape, right?
