Thanks I'm really confused.|||First off, S Wonder's answer about Lynchburg is not true. I'll straighten that out below.
Tennessee has screwy liquor laws. You can not buy wine in the grocery store. You can not buy beer in the liquor store. You can not buy soft drinks to mix with your alcohol in a liquor store. The state (Alcoholic Beverage Commission) regulates the sale of alcohol, spirits, wine, champagne, and liqueurs; the city or county (Beer Board) regulates the sale of beer.
Now, "liquor by the drink" is what is served in bars and restaurants and applies only to state licenses. A bar or restaurant can have an alcohol and wine license, a wine only license, a beer only license, or license to serve alcohol, wine and beer.
If you want to read about the different types of ABC licenses, go to http://www.state.tn.us/abc/ which is the state's site. The rules about selling beer are contained the the City Code of your town.
Now about distilleries, until recently there were only three counties in Tennessee that could distill spirits -- Coffee (home of George Dickel), Moore (home of Jack Daniel's), and Lincoln (home of Prichards Rum). Due to a change in state law, other counties are now able to have distilleries, and I know there is one underway in Davidson and another in Grundy.
Moore County is a "dry county". That means you can not buy alcohol there. Jack Daniel's does manufacture and bottle its fine product in Moore County (it is not piped anywhere). Due to a change in state law, it was also given authority to sell commemorative bottles at the distillery. These are not for drinking, they are for collecting and opening the bottle reduces its value.
I hope this helps explain it. Some of the stupid rules are due to a powerful liquor lobby that keeps the State Legislature from making the laws consumer-friendly. You can't even buy a cork screw in the liquor store where you buy the wine.|||Hello, i just saw your page on Google, and I already bought these on http://www.buy-snake-wine.com but i wonder where to find other snake related products, any idea ?

|||Liquor by the drink is where you are at a bar or restaurant and can get a shot or mixed drink ONLY if the bar/restaurant has a license to do so. You go to a "package" store to buy a whole bottle of liquor/wine. Also, you cannot take your beer/drink outside unless it's part of the bar/restaurant i.e. a patio that can only be accessed through the bar. Here's a real weird one for you. I forget what county Lynchburg is in, but it is a "dry" county (can't buy liquor period), but Jack Daniels distillery is located there. They pipe the product into the next county where it is measured, bottled and taxed or so I've been told.|||Well, I guess liquor laws do vary by state. I just vacationed in Missouri, and you can buy liquor in supermarkets and your passengers can drink in your car and you can't get arrested for public intoxication. I live in Texas and it's definetly not like that here. You can only serve liquor here if it's at a bar, and not after 2AM, and liquor stores can't open before 10AM and they need to close by 9PM. And I've heard in Cleveland the bars stay open till 4AM. It depends on who is making the law in your state.|||ill tell you the laws here in england, we have 5;
rule1: While under the influence of alcohol keep all hair away from lighters.
rule2: While under the influence do NOT proceed to take off clothing.
rule3: The more the merrier (this applies to both people and liquid).
rule4: Don't be uptight, drink and have fun.
rule5: Do not jump from moving cars while under the influence.
If you apply the previous rules to ones drinking session then I can assure you that you will be particularly safe. Pay close attention to rule5 as the consequence of breaking thos rule is a broken arm. Trust me.
-Oh and have fun, Sincerely; DrunkElla xx
