I have one of those in my shop. Not sure why I still have it. Anyone want to start a computer museum?

Liquor & wine is sold only in state run "State Stores" (or wine may be sold by wineries). They don't sell beer.
Beer is even dumber... here we have "take out stores" who can sell cold beer, but only in 6-packs or less, and "distributors" who can only sell beer in cases (cold or not) but not anything less than a case.
There is a distributor down the street from me that is a drive thru. You drive around the back and through a garage door. You tell the guy what you want, pop the trunk and he puts it in. Then pull forward and pay at a window before driving out the front. You never get out of your car.

That kinda stupid is usually reserved for bible belt states like Georgia. We finally are able to buy beer on Sunday. We are officially a bunch of hell-bound heathens.
In reply to Anti-stance:
Sunday beer sales are on a county by county basis here. I live in Lexington County, conservative government, no Sunday beer sales, low taxes. ~2 miles to Richland County, fulla liberals and high taxes but they have Sunday beer sales. 
I really want this helmet. Does that make me a hipster?
In reply to Otto Maddox:
Depends. If you have skinny girl jeans on, a messenger bag, and you are getting on a Vespa then I would say yes.

Theres a Jungle Jims just north of Cincinnati, and theyre just about to open one up just east of Cincinnati. That place is badass! So many beers, so little time

I thought the laws in Indiana where stupid, then I moved to PA for a while. At least I could buy on Sunday there. I think Indiana is the last state to have a state-wide ban on Sunday sales. And we've still got our fair share of wonky laws. Grocery stores (or anywhere that's not a liquor store) can't sell cold beer. Liquor stores can't sell cold soda. It's also illegal for liquor stores to sell milk for some reason. No take out sales at all on sunday, but bars are open and restaurants can serve alcohol. There is a Sunday loophole for wineries and breweries, and they can sell direct from the location they make it at, and no where else. Luckily for me there's a micro-brewery that sells growlers a few miles from my house.

When I was in Imperial, PA picking up my '95 sho back in 2007, I was amazed they had drive liquor stores that operated like your everyday mcdonalds drive through.

I've never heard of that, but I understand there are a bunch of "grandfathered" licenses that have odd allowances. I heard of one take-out place in South Philly that can deliver a 6-pack if ordered with a pizza.
My Daughter goes to college in Heartsville, SC. It's a small town, but no so small that it doesn't have a Walmart. On Sundays, Walmart has to divide the store and block off anything that isn't food or considered a necessity. Need clothes? Sorry, can't buy that on Sunday. How about some hardware or a light bulb? Sorry. Toy for the kid? Nope. Beer? Oh, hell no!! It's really kind of screwy seeing a Walmart Super Center with yellow barriers all through the building blocking off what you can't buy. 
In reply to Toyman01:
I have a real problem with a government whether local, state, or federal that caters to a religion(or any group for that matter) in helping to prohibit people from doing something that is perfectly legal.
Now if I was partying my ass off in a church parkinglot, then I'd see a problem.
Isn't a Hipster the wild younger brother of the Truckster...formerly called the Sport Wagon? 
That's what are called 'blue laws' down here and they date back to the 1600's. Several years ago, the state legislature was supposed to repeal them but some of the less, er, forward seeing citizens raised so much hell that instead the Legislature chickened out and left it up to the individual counties (can't risk that comfy spot in the State House, now can we?).
So instead we now have a hodgepodge of different stuff; some counties kept them, some repealed all, some did a pick n' choose thing. Hey, it's not as bad as NC's mishmash of 'dry' and 'wet' counties; all of ours allow booze/beer sales Mon-Sat.
Sheesh. You guys are usually pretty knowledgeable, but obviously not well-versed in women's underwear. Go figure!

There is a beer store in Columbus in the OSU campus area that delivers only beer (and cigarettes).
In reply to EvanB:
I bet their most delivered items are Natty Ice, Kool cigarettes, game cubes, and black dildos
