HA HA not a big liquor drinker but the few times I have....this made me laugh, and my sister always says the same thing. The best is when people try to go out the WRONG DOOR!!!
The upside is they are much cleaner than the ones in NY.
I'd honestly prefer they went away in favor of purchases in grocery stores. Would be so much more convenient. Also do away with the dumb Sunday no-sell law. Let adults make adult decisions for heavens sake.

Oh no, North Carolinians don't want to mess with a thing I'm just kidding. I don't buy liquor anymore anyway. I'm for whatever works the best.
ABC stores and the even stupider happy hour laws are one of the very few things I hate about living in NC.
The ABC system eliminates competition. I'm a believer in the economic value of capitalism. I want to buy my liquor at Costco. That the bars and restaurants have to pay an even HIGHER price than consumers is entirely ridiculous. Name another business purchase where wholesale costs more than retail - I dare you! And that inflates the price of a drink in bars and restaurants. Between 50-66% more than what we pay in Phoenix.
Happy hours in NC are "happy days". By law, An alcohol special has to be offered all day, instead of the standard 2 hours (typically, 4pm to 6pm). So, I can get sloshed all day instead of just for a couple of hours? Makes no sense at all.
In NC, we have our cocktails at home. The income we used to provide by going out to bars - especially happy hour, which often became dinner - has been taken away from businesses who provide jobs and additional income to the state coffers in the form of sales taxes.
It's one of the most stupid government decisions I've ever seen. And that's REALLY saying something!
Seems like, at least at first glance, it takes a special kind of ineptitude to lose money in a market where your only competition is out-of-state smuggling.
