Us folks down here in SC Do Not Need Any More Booze!!!

Beer is sold in every gas station and there are gas stations every
where! I haven't counted yet but it seems as if on every corner
(including country intersections) there are 2 gas stations and on
opposing corners 2 church's.

Plus there are the A.B.C. stores that sell hard liquor.

Too many of these deaths in SC are children too, killed by themselves
while driving drunk, killed by a drunk driver or being in the same car
as a drunk driver. I had my Aunt Marjorie and Uncle Don killed by a
drunk driver passing 5 cars on highway 12 in Michigan (and the drunk
******* lived).

How many here have lost a family member to a drunk driver?

Going right along with the highest death rates due to drunk drivers is
one of the highest incidents of spousal abuse in the nation, here in SC.

No, SC does not need more time to drink booze!

Being raised by a drunkard step-father in Indiana that beat my mother, I
get ill when I smell the stench of alcohol on someones breath. Makes me
have flash backs of seeing my mothers blood spattered on the bathroom
walls and a totally bruised face from the slugs she took.

Peace,
