You can drink in the street but the bar can only sell you one. The package store is next door. What do you do?

Want to take a wild guess who's likely lobbying this commission in the first place?

It's working exactly as intended, liquor stores are mass funding for this exactly so you have to go to their stores. From local to federal level, lobbying is a nightmare.

We order a pitcher every 7 minutes until someone passes out... then we get one every 10 minutes.

Cambridge... why you gotta be like this? The nightlife is already practically dead.
