Porche Convention on Jekyll

We were walking out to eat when we saw all these Porches pulling up in front of us. They all lined up together on the lawn. Such an impressive sight!

Sunday Alcohol Sales

The bill allowing for individual communities to vote on whether or not to sell alcohol on Sundays has landed itself on Nathan Deal’s desk. As someone who grew up in Georgia, not being able to buy alcohol on Sunday’s has never been an issue for me, just an accepted fact. I never knew it any other way. When you had a party on Saturday night, you made sure that you made a last alcohol run by 11:30 if you were going to need to buy any extras. If you were having a Super Bowl party on Sunday, you made sure to stock up on Saturday. If you were working at a place that sells alcohol, you made sure not to sell on Sunday no matter how often people tried.

By now, there are many transplants to Georgia to whom this law is something they never imagined. The passing of a law to sell alcohol on Sunday has been talked about for years. No one expected it to ever go through (or at least I didn’t). So now it is in the hands of communities. People have argued that allowing for alcohol sales on Sunday will increase alcohol related deaths.

I disagree. First, if you were going to drink on Sunday, you could always find it somewhere, at a bar or a friend’s house, and most likely that place wouldn’t be somewhere where you wouldn’t have to drive after drinking. Now you can drink and stay at home decreasing driving on the road after drinking. Second, I want to ask those people what they think about the allowing of guns in church. Is that not going to increase deaths?

Overall, people are responsible for themselves whether or not they drink.
