PA always cracked me up. In order to 'control' alcohol consumption, you could ONLY buy beer at a beer/wine store in case or keg quantities.
Reminds me of the (now defunct) laws in SC that only permitted bars to use mini-bottles of liquor to prepare cocktails. So instead of getting a white Russian with 1.5 oz of liquor, you get 3.4, since you had to use the entire mini-bottles of both vodka & Kahlua.

brought to you by the same organizations that sought to abolish slavery, increase women's rights and improve society. Bastids.

there are some State Stores in PA that are now open on Sunday.

also, some food markets are selling beer.

once again, Puritans objected:
A local church had filed an objection to the store’s beer plan, but the state Liquor Control Board ruled the church lacked standing to file the objection.
The First Baptist Church of Sunbury objected on the grounds that the store would be selling beer close to the Sunbury YMCA and other areas where children congregate.
“Our original intent was not to shut down the store’s cafe, we just wanted to make sure Weis was aware that we did not like what they were doing,” said the Rev. Darrin Hunt, pastor of the church.

how much beer does one need to sell near a child for him or her to become intoxicated?
