We don’t have this problem in West Europe, you can by alcohol in any grocery store.
Along side your 20-pack of first price beer, 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of red wine, you add a cucumber and a box of condoms to make it less awkward. People then assume you’re going to have a fun party and definitely not get shit faced on your own 👍
Alcohol regulation varies from state to state. You can get beer and wine in grocery stores in most states. For liquor, it’s a little less than half of them.
And some states have drive-through liquor stores
Also you have functioning public mass transit where you can have someone else convey your drunk ass to the other side of town, for little to no expense.
I brew my own mead, so I am the guy walking out of Lidl with 20 jars of all their runny honey. Set can work if heated to melt it but it’s more effort.
You can do that in the more civilized states, too.
Vinnmonopolet?
That’s Northern Europe.
My former boss had trouble buying beer sometimes because he’s short and thin and made the mistake of going with another coworker who permanently looks under eighteen years old. He said he ain’t making that mistake again.
Meanwhile, during covid, my method of verifying the age was pulling the mask down.
We also got thoroughly blazed all together at multiple times, locations, and various configurations of other coworkers and drugs of choice. We were in programming.
if you’re both drinking the duis cancel each other out
RISA do you have endless greentexts??
Basically ya
A good reminder that a lot of the time, your boss is in a similar situation than you are, just a few salary levels higher and tasked to keep the morale high. Imagine if we got everyone below C level in a union, what kind of bargain power that would have… a man can dream

BS you can’t get a DWI in a private parking lot.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
You absolutely can. You can get a DWI while just sitting in your vehicle in a parking lot with the engine off.

My dad got arrested and charged w dui in his friend’s kitchen because the cops found his turned off car on the side of the road one winter night and followed his footsteps half a mile to his friend’s house. They busted him cuz he left the keys in the ignition.

You likely can

Yeah, unfortunately you can get a DWI for pulling over and napping in your car on the side of the road because you didn’t feel safe driving. Because they argue how else did you get there if not by driving. And I suppose no one sober would choose to start drinking on the side of the road in a car.
A good challenge to this might be to use an acceptable BAC testing model right out of the box to record your BAC of 0.00, driving to the side of a road police travel by, retesting BAC of 0.00, removing alcohol from trunk, drinking and testing your BAC until an officer arrests you, then using the video and data for visual aids in the jury trial in your defense.
You’ll likely still get some fine for being considered to have wasted the states’ time & money, and may even lose if you’re unattractive and/or arbitrarily considered a public nuissance. But you’d likely be among the most cited case law for cases involving the dumbest college kids (e.g. me, based on how much time I’ve spent on this).

You 100% can. People have gotten DUIs for operating a Zamboni while drunk, which is a vehicle that drives entirely in a closed environment not on the roadway.
You can get a DUI for driving anything while intoxicated that requires a drivers license to operate, regardless of where you are operating it. That said, people who get blasted and drive around their own privately owned fields are not likely to get caught. That doesnt mean that just because they dont get caught that its not illegal to do
