Important facts for me to know

Monday, April 24, 2006
"Oklahoma" is a combination of two Choctaw words: okla, meaning 'people' (as in the term Miliki okla, which means 'American people'), and homa (also spelled homma or humma) which means, among other things, 'red.'

Oklahoma has some of the strictest liquor laws in the country. This began with the state's constitution including total prohibition of alcoholic beverages. In 1959, voters repealed total prohibition and liquor-by-the-drink bars were not allowed until 1985. Since 1985, liquor-by-the-drink is decided on a county-by-county basis, with approximately half allowing it. Currently, liquor stores are required to close on Sundays, may not be open past 9:00 PM, and may not refrigerate alcohol. (Warehouses and shipping companies are also prohibited from using refrigeration.) Some bars are also restricted from selling beverages in excess of 3.2% alcohol. Persons under twenty-one years of age are prohibited from being in a bar area of a restaurant. Some breweries, such as New Belgium Brewing Company, will not ship to Oklahoma because these laws degrade the quality of beer by the time it reaches the consumer.




I think I would like to take a road trip.

Dude, I was looking forward to moving to Texas and drinking some Fat Tire, a New Belgium beer, but you know what I found out? Lubbock is a dry city!! What gives?

When are you coming to Norman? I'll talk to you soon.

Peace.

Oklahoma liquor laws are ridiculous. No Fat Tire can be bought in Oklahoma. Ugh.
But, some people find some ways to drink some things.
