Alcohol attitude is `amusing'

Alcohol

attitude is `amusing'

Fayetteville's

paranoid attitude concerning alcohol would be amusing

except for the fact that it hurts all county residents.

No? Then what about the lost tax revenues when county

residents go to neighboring counties to do their

shopping?

I live about half way

between Fayetteville and Peachtree City. I always did my

shopping in Fayetteville. But for the month of January,

at least, I will be doing my shopping elsewhere.

I do not know which

restaurant or grocery store can sell a glass or bottle of

wine. It will be easier to just shop elsewhere. Some of

my shopping will be in Peachtree City. As everyone knows,

Peachtree City restaurants normally get a lot of their

business from Fayetteville, but now, lines will be even

longer. It seems that the only solution is to go out of

the county. Fayetteville will lose about $900 worth of

business from my household alone. About $400 to $500 of

that will go out of the county.

From age 15 or 16, I always

had an ID card, showing that I was 18 (the legal age

then). Is there anyone in Fayetteville that thinks that

that doesn't happen now? Oh, well, I guess it is easier

to stick one's head in the sand and ignore the facts.
