I ordered a bloody Mary at an airport in Florida and the bartender looked at me, indignant, and said "sir, it is ILLEGAL to serve alcohol before 8am in this county."
Bro, you are the one peddling addictive substances in an airport. Get off my case. For me it was midnight a few hours ago.
TX had similar bullshit (nothing until 11) when I was there working overnights. It's my 8pm. I've been up keeping patients alive all night. Make my drink.
But it’s always before 8AM! What’s his imaginary cut off time where the previous night ends and the new day begins?
In the places I've lived (all US), no businesses could sell alcohol between the hours of 2am and 6am, and some alcohol licenses have even more limited hours. I'm pretty sure I overheard a cashier at the Target near my parents' place telling a customer that they couldn't sell alcohol until 8a, and I believe I've encountered some alcohol licenses with a cutoff as early as 10p.
I hear that some regions don't allow alcohol sales at all on Sundays, but luckily I've never lived in any of those places.
Ah yes, substance abuse is cured in the land of the free :D
