If I get snowed in why not have a good glass of champagne or wine. What does an alcoholic beverage have to do with a state of emergency anyway? Sometimes politicians tamper with things that do not connect the dots.

The evidence is that this was something ONE store did, not an edict. The law on the books probably goes back centuries, but there is no documentation that anywhere other than this one particular store was interpreting it to mean "no alcohol" this particular time.

I agree that Walgreen's has a history of busybody-ness when it comes to telling people what they can buy (I believe they have been known to ban certain legal prescription drugs [not just insulin needles] in the past). I certainly don't shop there.

I was in my local Walgreens tonight, and the same signs were up.
