CVS to stop selling cigarettes.

Griever said Duane Reade

Wat?

It still boggles my mind that you guys can buy booze in grocery stores.

Up here in Canada, it's either so restricted it's either a government store (so one per town) or in Alberta's case, a licensed liquor store.

Minnesota's basically just as prudish. Some grocery stores carry beer and wine, but liquor is only at licensed liquor stores. No alcohol sales at all on Sundays, or after 2 AM on weekdays/Saturdays, either (they obviously start up again at 8 AM for daytime shoppers).

Interesting true fact for your arousal: Beer is directly responsible for 99% of rapes in the country, and 82% of abortions.

Beer isn't responsible for rape. Being a remorseless cunt is what's responsible for rape.

Where I'm from in Texas (it can vary county to county) it's no selling beer after midnight unless it's Saturday, then it's 1 am. And all liquor stores are closed by 9pm and on Sundays. Beer can't be sold until 7 am? I think. I never worked the morning shift with the bums hanging out at the singles door for their breakfast.

E: And if I was gonna buy drugs from guy named Duane, it wouldn't need a prescription.

In point, hard liquor is sold every night to 9pm.
Beer is every night till midnight.

Well, now I want some booze. I ran out of my vodka last weekend. Any suggestions?

I have no comprehension of why a pharmacy would sell cigarettes and alcohol in the first place. Really doesn't make any sense.

It's only half-pharmacy. The other half is a convenience store.

Rum. You can't go wrong with rum.

Tis true. It goes with everything.

Unhealthy people dying is good for the economy, Griever. Especially if they're elderly.

That would be the case if they died overnight. But smokers and drinkers take many years before they finally croak.

They suffer for many, many years and all along that journey they sap taxpayer cash via healthcare.

Tell that to Anubis there, he's making smoking look too cool.

@Griever

Clearly the problem is that cigarettes and alcohol aren't harmful enough, then.

Saskatchewan and British Columbia have regulated private liquor stores as well.
