So we keep talking about the new rules regarding pricing for drinks,how much can be ordered at last call and this reducing the potential for disturbances. Well we have a solution for this. Lets allow Liquor stores to be open till 2am- 7 days a week and have these right in residential areas,and even have them beside a 24hr convenience store so we can get mix and smokes too. There's 5 Liquor stores within a 5 minute drive here and the one that's open till 2am is smack dab in the middle of a residential area. It seems like there's a few gaping holes in these laws that common sense should apply to. Try living around these stores and listen to the parties some evenings that go on well after 2am and watch these very intoxicated people burn rubber and drive away home. Liquor stores open till 2am, 7 days a week! I believe that if you can't find a place to buy your liquor during normal hours there is something not right here. Maybe Common Sense! Common Sense.

And it sucks for the rest of us. If people can’t control themselves in a civil way, the government is going to continue to place laws to protect those who can’t. And it sucks for the rest of us.
