Sheetz, which is the only reason you can buy beer at a gas station or grocery store at all: they fought back and forth with the state for years. Would meet the requirements for a restaurant license, get a restaurant license, but beer in, get shut down by the LCB, take the beer out, apply for a restaurant license, put beer in and so on.
Depends where you are at. I grew up in a county where have the townships and boroughs were dry. In one not only are they dry, but a church owns all the licenses, so even if the township goes wet, no one can open a bar or anything else. On another dry township the golf course requested a variance to the ordinance; which was put on the ballot and they got. Several years later a restaurant applied for a variance and it got voted Down by 2/3rds.
You can’t buy beer at the same register you would pay for gas at gas stations to discourage drinking and driving, but you can buy a spiked slushee at that same gas station. Plus you can have beer delivered with your pizza.
Well, getting beer delivered with the pizza seems ok, so long as the delivery driver hasn't been drinking it. It's certainly better than going to the pizza place, getting sloshed, and driving back home.
@@chrisrinker8813 the commonwealth is fighting it to not privatize alcohol sales. At least when it comes to the state stores, millions of dollars that fund the state come from alcohol sales. All of the profits, after paying the employees, paying to rent buildings, paying for all business things, all the profit goes to the state. Privatization would be a one shot of a lot of money selling liquor licenses. When that money would run out who knows where they'd tax us. It sucks not being able to buy hard liquor and beer in the same place but if it were to change, I think we'd be a bit worse off.
I did too! Been out of there for 10 years, and jfc nothing has changed. I tell my family I can go to Walmart to get hard liquor and they look at me like 😳.
In Kansas its illegal to put ice cream on pie. Not sure how they enforce that though. Also in Topeka(the capital) its illegal to scream in a haunted house, and in Lawrence it illegal to wear a hat if it has a bee in it.
Well, the last one just seems like common courtesy. If a bee is already wearing a hat, you can't just snatch it and put it on your head just because its a bee.
I'm still not used to seeing alcohol in some of our gas stations. That's a very new thing. And, despite the fact that we can sell booze in grocery stores, you still won't find many that do. And then, of course, there's the Sunday problem.
16 years ago, my jr hs year, I spent 6 months in Albuquerque NM, was a shock to see liquor behind the counter. First saw that in PA up in Altoona at one of the Sheetz there. And only in the past few years has that migrated down to the Harrisburg area.
I've got two grocery stores within a couple blocks of me that sell alcohol, and really only one that seems to do a decent enough number of sales when I've been in.
So the reason you don't see many grocery stores that sell alcohol is because of the strict laws in place that allow them to sell it. Businesses must have a separate area apart from the main area of the store to store and purchase the alcohol, register included. They must also have seating for at least 30 people. It's basically treated as a restaurant attached to the store. I know at the local Weis, they have it at their Deli section
Bruh, that 192 oz. law takes me back to sitting in the parking lot of a place called "Wiskey Tango" as my only of-age friend went back and forth making like three or more trips into the little beer shop attached to the bar, just to get some rough ass 40s. Hurricane? Steel Reserve? Those names kind of sound familiar to me lol.
This sounds like conversation I had with my parents when I was moving back to the state after living in Chicago. "What do you mean I can't buy beer in this store that sells wine and spirits? And that beer store can sell individual bottles but not a 24 case? JFC, is this a conspiracy with the gas companies to make you drive more?" You shouldn't have to plan so much just to get a drink.
Yeah, I've seen people do every single one of these. You've gotta ride in the boat if there's no more room in the truck bed! It's county fair season and every fair has at least 3 fortune tellers. We just say they're from Ohio.
@@leandreaguyton7619 In New England, when COVID hit, we didn’t deem the package store essential, so we couldn’t go in person to get non-descript packages of Alcohol, so they started delivering.
when my parents went to jersey for vacation they said it was strange seeing all the different types of alcohol in one store unlike what you see over here in PA
Oh, it is. The fact that grocery stores and gas stations can sell beer was a major cause for excitement when they finally made that a thing. They are now trying to privatize the liquor stores now, which in the year 2022 seems like a no brainer to anyone outside of our silly little state.
Grocery stores selling beer is really recent too. Near me there's only 1 (giant eagle) that sells beer, but you have to go to a separate area of the store to buy it
Also a friendly reminder that PA has a law where it’s illegal to a happy hour discount between midnight and the legal closing hours. That made a lot of New Jersey friends upset when they would want to visit a bar.
….. ok that just explained why my favorite bar has happy hour between 8pm-2am. I just figured that was a way to get people drinking and not notice price increases till they are too drunk to care.
I work at a grocery store in PA and once a man came in asking if we sold alcohol. We did not so he asked where to get some. He had an accent not native to the area so I asked him if he was from PA and he said no. So I had to give him a rundown of how to buy alcohol in our state and where he could get it and I still don't think he got it
The prices aren't bad. As we are the largest bulk purchaser of liquor there is, we negotiate a fair deal, especially on higher end products. Our prices are consistent throughout the state, and we need to have certain coverage throughout the state. Out in the boonies you'll have one staff work one store mon, wed, fri, and another tue, thu, sat
As nutty as it is, the complication around obtaining alcohol actually reduces drunk driving. It's amazing how often lazy wins because that is just one MORE store to go to.
1:03 at this point NJ should have popped out and said “wow I didn’t know it was possible to go fast in PA”, in case you don’t know in NJ their is a real problem with PA driver goin to slow.
As a Pennsylvanian, I have never seen many of those alcohol purchase limits put in place. Went to a Weis and saw a guy buying like 5 6-packs. Only the place of purchase laws.
For one person to drink in one go, it's a fair bit, sure. For a party? It's practically nothing. Like, two 200 pound dudes could drink the whole pack in 4 hours, and still be legal to drive. 3 can do it in 2 hours.
As someone who just recently left my home state of PA for the South, I love seeing people gander at the tomfoolery of our wonderful state. I'd choose PA over TN any day.
Hey when I turned 21 we still couldn't buy booze on Sundays... literally you had to go to a restaurant that did at least 75% of its business in food or plan ahead if you wanted a drink on a Sunday. I know that was still the law when I was bartending in 03. Can't remember when it changed but it wasn't THAT long ago.
In texas you can't buy alcohol anywhere on sunday until after 12pm. So if you want alcohol at your tailgate before the game, make sure you plan ahead and buy it the day before. There have been several items when i was waiting tables, where the restaurant opened at 11am on Sundays, and I had to tell some one they had to wait an hour before i could serve them, and some people got all kinds of pissed. I think thats why a lot of restaurants dont open until noon on Sundays so they dont have to turn people down on alcohol.
Yeah there were still really strict hours on the state stores and stuff when the law was first changed and bars may still have to close on Sundays. I don't drink much and I can probably count the number of bars I've patronized in my life on one hand so I don't pay that close attention. Now, we can finally buy wine and beer at SOME grocery and convenience stores in just the last few years and some of them are open 24/7. Each store has to get its own license though so even within the same chain some stores might have a license and some might not. The sheetz nearest me couldn't sell alcohol until a few months ago because it's across the street from an elementary school. The school was supposed to move to a new building this year though that got pushed back til next but they still finally let that store sell booze. And because I mentioned it sheetz has better food than wawa but wawa has better smoothies and I really wish they'd bring the cannoli chips back.
I live just outside Philly, and we just drive to Delaware to get booze. It's all in one place! Planning for our sorority parties up here was a headache, though. The state store and beer distributor were in complete opposite directions from each other
You forgot that when the first distillery tried to apply for a license they couldn’t get would because they liquor control board didn’t have an application. So the distillery had to create an application for the LCB, get it approved by the LCB, so they could fill it out and await approval by the LCB.
According to Pennsylvania state law, you are unable to sing in the bathtub. However, belting your heart out next to the bathtub afterwards is socially acceptable. According to 55 Pa. Code 3800.6 it's also illegal to have a child's bedroom within 200 feet of a bathtub.
what?! That is insane and impossible to have a bathroom further than 200 ft from a bedroom in any lower income house. So are you saying bathrooms only have showers in most homes? this law make absolutely no sense.
I went to college in a dry town. Halfway through my time there, my school opened a hotel with a bar in it. The town got pissed off and the school basically said "you wouldn't exist without us so suck it." They won and the bar is still there.
The alcohol laws here are exactly why my dad gets his port wine in Jersey either shipped or just on road trips. (That and good Portuguese wine is hard to find here)
I’m from pa and with the amount of water falls we got it’s perfectly sane about the fish also for treasure hunters you can go through many town parks but state parks you need permission first
I'm starting to get used to seeing beer and wine in grocery stores. I still get a bit giddy when I find a new one. And that's despite the fact I barely drink anything they carry...I still have to go to the state store. I'm just happy to see the laws loosening.
I had lived in PA (Marshall's Creek) in the early 2000's and most of my time there I worked at a big box store and we could tell when an out of stater came in because they would ask where the alcohol. I left in 2007 looks like a lot has changed, I am now living in NM and alcohol sales stop at midnight and on Sundays you have to wait till noon before you can buy alcohol.
Or that the grocery stores have to scan your drivers license to buy beer or wine - no matter how old you look. but if you walk into the fine wines and spirits state store that is literally next to the grocery store, they don't
I work at a beer store in PA and it's so stupid, people from out of state come in all the time asking for liquor and are confused when we don't have it
my interesting event in PA was when I was hitchhiking (50 years ago, it was a thing) I was on a sparsely used highway when out from the tree line came a mama bear and an older cub. they crossed the divided highway to the other side and disappeared into the trees. I was dumbfounded to see bears so close up, but they ignored me so...I still think of PA and those bears. I had nowhere to go, I'm glad they barely looked my way, but it's etched in my mind ever since. there wasn't a bear crossing sign, I guess bears are scofflaws in PA
Live in PA. You can get booze easy enough honestly. More annoying to be a business that makes or sells alcohol than it is to be a consumer imo. The limit at checkout can be annoying tho.
I do remember at least at one time it was impossible to buy 3 six packs in one transaction you could buy 2 at bar or cases at a distributor but never 3 sixes unless you left the bar with 2 and came back for the 3rd
The law about alcohol is almost the same as here in Sweden, except that on pubs & restaurants you only need to be 18 but can't leave the pub with the alcohol but if you are older than 20 you can buy for home consumption XD
When you do Indiana....in my city (idk if it's state or not) there's apparently a law that says you can't throw a couch out of a 2 story building and you can't wear masks on Halloween after like 13 or 14 (idk if it still exists after this year or not and again idk if it's everywhere else)
Oklahoma started getting rid of Prohibition when my mother was a kid, 50s or 60s. The governor decided to actually enforce the prohibition laws and everyone voted to get rid of them. Just a few years ago, we made it possible to get better than 3:2 beer, and last year, we made it possible to get wine and liquor in grocery stores.
As insane as our alocohol laws are its actually pretty dang easy to just get a beer, like just walk into any old gas station. But there really is a separate counter where they check you out.
I used to be a liquor clerk for acme. You don't even need to leave the store. Just end one beer transaction and start another. It's so damn easy that corporate told us how to get around it. And acme can barely communicate policy. But they made damn sure they got this right.
Boat on the highway makes sense, Im australian unsure about the legalities of it but we often put the baots in the water with someone in it, so usually when you get to the boat ramp the passenger jumps out of the car and sits in the boat while its being put in the water

I left in 2007 looks like a lot has changed, I am now living in NM and alcohol sales stop at midnight and on Sundays you have to wait till noon before you can buy alcohol.
As someone who lives in PA and likes drinking.... yeah getting alcohol isn't easy
Or that the grocery stores have to scan your drivers license to buy beer or wine - no matter how old you look. but if you walk into the fine wines and spirits state store that is literally next to the grocery store, they don't
the fortune telling being illegal makes sense to me, since fortune tellers are mostly scam artists
Should do weird Delaware laws. Have that first state join as the last to actually duel.
The second I saw the title for this video I knew you were gonna talk about the alcohol laws lmao
"Fortune telling is illegal"
sweats and hides my four decks of tarot cards and my lenormand deck. guess i'm not going to PA with those any time soon x
This would've come in real handy on my off days at the summer camps
I work at a general store, and let me tell you, the “walk out to your car” thing is very much alive
Like the weird laws much more than the Haunted histories
I work at a beer store in PA and it's so stupid, people from out of state come in all the time asking for liquor and are confused when we don't have it
Can we just have a whole episode of Ben's bloopers?
Oh goodness, I about died from laughing. It’s all so frickin true! And damn, that shirt is absolutely perfect. I need that in my life.
I'll take a size XL.
I’ll take a size medium
love this guy's content
my interesting event in PA was when I was hitchhiking (50 years ago, it was a thing) I was on a sparsely used highway when out from the tree line came a mama bear and an older cub. they crossed the divided highway to the other side and disappeared into the trees. I was dumbfounded to see bears so close up, but they ignored me so...I still think of PA and those bears. I had nowhere to go, I'm glad they barely looked my way, but it's etched in my mind ever since. there wasn't a bear crossing sign, I guess bears are scofflaws in PA
If you ever do Missouri be sure to bring up the executive order that was finally repealed in 1976
The boat thing is because they will someone tore boats in parades (slow), so they won’t outlaw it completely.
Live in PA. You can get booze easy enough honestly. More annoying to be a business that makes or sells alcohol than it is to be a consumer imo. The limit at checkout can be annoying tho.
When you find out pinchot is pronounced Poncho
I do remember at least at one time it was impossible to buy 3 six packs in one transaction you could buy 2 at bar or cases at a distributor but never 3 sixes unless you left the bar with 2 and came back for the 3rd
Down here in FL we also have drive thru liquor stores lol, but they are not everyehere and far in between.
Them quakers got some weird shenanigans.
I was waiting for Louie after the "what, are you trying to get drunk comment? "
I need to see what he does for AL, because in Alabama it’s illegal to drive blindfolded.
Finally found something in Alabama that makes sense.
The law about alcohol is almost the same as here in Sweden, except that on pubs & restaurants you only need to be 18 but can't leave the pub with the alcohol but if you are older than 20 you can buy for home consumption XD
It's funny, the only drive through liquor store I've ever been to was outside Pittsburgh
Holy shit finally someone talks about how stupid the PA alcohol laws are!
I appreciate the Pitt hat. I'm due to graduate with my masters in December!
1:29 Gov. conscience: No no he's got a point.
There is a law in Ridley Park, PA that says you can't walk backwards in front of a concert eating peanuts
Is that a typo? I grew up near Ridley Park, and can't find a Riley Park on Google maps.
@@DrewKime yes it was
@@007sean Well then, next time I'm visiting family I'll have to find a concert and some peanuts.
@@DrewKime it is a old law that may not be active anymore or at least not in force
The most accurate part of this is the pothole shirt lol
When you do Indiana....in my city (idk if it's state or not) there's apparently a law that says you can't throw a couch out of a 2 story building and you can't wear masks on Halloween after like 13 or 14 (idk if it still exists after this year or not and again idk if it's everywhere else)
I never met a fortune teller in my home state and now I know why!
Forgot about singing on top of your fridge, or watering grass in the rain. Both are illegal here
You should do this for Michigan. Or fun names with Michigan . That would be awesome.
Oklahoma started getting rid of Prohibition when my mother was a kid, 50s or 60s. The governor decided to actually enforce the prohibition laws and everyone voted to get rid of them. Just a few years ago, we made it possible to get better than 3:2 beer, and last year, we made it possible to get wine and liquor in grocery stores.
As insane as our alocohol laws are its actually pretty dang easy to just get a beer, like just walk into any old gas station. But there really is a separate counter where they check you out.
As An Active PA Resident, I can say they are all true, however you forgot to talk about how it's illegal to sing in a bathtub
Can't wait to see that he does for a weird law Tennessee video!
Those alcohol laws are being worked on a bit but holy hell is that accurate
My towns in pa has got a drive through beer distributor that you can get alcoholic slushees
I used to be a liquor clerk for acme. You don't even need to leave the store. Just end one beer transaction and start another. It's so damn easy that corporate told us how to get around it. And acme can barely communicate policy. But they made damn sure they got this right.
I tried to get drunk in Pennsylvania but it was impossible. Had to move.
The funnier thing about the fortune telling law is that it's only illegal if you paid for it
We may not have drive thru daiquiris but we do have drive thru beer distributors
Boat on the highway makes sense, Im australian unsure about the legalities of it but we often put the baots in the water with someone in it, so usually when you get to the boat ramp the passenger jumps out of the car and sits in the boat while its being put in the water
