So I have a second carabiner to grab depending on if I'm driving or not? Or I can take my carabiner (car keys, house keys, bike keys, pepper spray, and hair ties) every time I leave my home and never accidentally grab the wrong keys. It's not a concern to bring the car key to the bar if the car is at home. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (7 children) I recently picked up a night shift job at a convenience store to pass the time. You’d be appalled by the amount of people that are buying shots in their way in to work permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (6 children) Yo, wtf is up with that. Can get mini bottles of liquor at the counter, next to the 5 hour energy drinks. Literally inviting drunk driving. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (4 children) it's how they cope with their miserable life. a lot of people are not full blown alcoholics, but alcohol dependents, as if they don't get shit faced, but they need a drink to function in ordinary situations. I have known people like this. They can't interact without people without alcohol. So at work, at a party, or just getting a coffee... they have to drink. And most stealth way to do this is a nip they can drop in their coffee or whatever. Typically they are not drunk or visible intoxicated, but without drinking they feel anxious and miserable. it's called Alcohol Use Disorder, or if you go by the alcoholic stages, it's stage 1-2 on that scale. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago (3 children) Oh I get it. But how alcohol is legally able to be served AT GAS stations, where there is a high probability you drove there, is the real head scratcher. It's almost entrapment. Can get shots at gas station, but can't buy alcohol after midnight and not on Sundays at all in some states (7pm and not on sunday in SC). Fucking wild what is and isn't allowed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] hraegsvelmir@ani.social 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) And then Louisiana stumbles into the party with its daiquiri drive-throughs and just leaves the rest of us confused. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago Yes! Saw that in arizona. Hear other states have liquor on one side, beer on the other, drive through barns. They just put it in your trunk. Wild shit permalink fedilink source parent [–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago* a single drink isn't enough to go over the BAC limit. You typically need 2-3. Alcohol rules are state by state and every state has different history. In my state happy hour is illegal due to MADD, and they have tried to repeal it several times and each time it gets shot down. A lot of it also has to do alcohol businesses wanting limited hours and less competition. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago My favorite is the people who come up with a cup, an energy drink and ask for some shots. On their way in to work. You’re not slick. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Humanius@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago Why would I leave the car keys at home? It's not like they're heavy or anything permalink fedilink source parent [–] bridgeburner@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (1 child) US-Americans, cos their "beer" is just water basically lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Soggy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago The 1960s called and want their generalization back. https://www.brewersfriend.com/2017/05/07/beer-styles-abv-chart-alcohol-by-volume-ranges-2017-update/ permalink fedilink source parent
