State fair to allow alcohol sales

Post Reply New Topic

Indiana is one of the few states that currently prohibits the sale of alcohol at the State fair. A new proposed Bill would change that long standing rationality in the near future.

Yes we all know it is not possible to have fun and enjoy ourselves without getting shitfaced drunk. And what says Family Values better than allowing sales of alcohol at a venue which is basically planned around activities centered on young people.

Hey, this is a Conservative state so who cares about Family Values when there is money to be made, eh. Do we anticipate that the religion of Family Values will be making an objection to this proposal? My bet is that the Church of Family Values will be first in line to have licensed beer sales are established at the state fair.

Anyone who doesn't have a flag tattooed on their penis have a problem with this proposal?

I would suspect this is just for grandstand events, yes? People spilling beer on each other at booths and rides does not make any sense.

As long as they don't sell to children, what is the problem?

A friend from Wisconsin said they had beer at the state fair,and at church on bingo night in the basement.
The majority of people just want a beer or two.If I had to listen to all that noise at the fair I'd want several.People sneak pints into events like this all the time.People puke on rides all the time even if they had nothing to drink,maybe they ate a giant funnel cake before getting on the roller coaster and up it comes.
I'm sure it's about revenue,but it is a good way to male some extra bucks.One of the church's was selling beer at the farmers market in St.Louis to make some extra money.I thought it was pretty cool.The best beer was at a Scottish festival,everyone was drinking,I didn't see anyone get trashed and there were no cops milling around either.A big thumbs up for Schafly's Scottish ale.

The tendency in this world is to be unruly and violent at sporting events. I see this on TV. Some events are more violent than others. Some become violent during the event, some afterwards. This seems to apply to some sports more than others. In many countries it's a sacred tradition. Is this not true in your world as well?

Would alcohol, or more alcohol, improve or add to the above????? Seems like a "no brainer" answer for anyone besides confirmed alcoholics or greedy people who don't care about any outcome besides the monetary benefit to themselves.

So now Indiana is ready to squander what it's worked hard to preserve? The tragic thing about moral backsliding is that it's almost impossible to reverse once put in motion. Sorry, Indiana.

^^That because you are dealing with jocks.They are unruly and violent even when not drinking.Remember high school.
They serve spirits at art exhibits,and of course wine tastings.Ever hear of people getting unruly at the museum or at a play?

What’s at issue here is choice. Liberals crow about being pro choice when it suits them, but the truth is, they believe people are too stupid to make rational and responsible personal choices. So they expect the government to make them.

What? There's still a state that doesn't have beer at the fair?

There's always one person that's total shitfaced either at the fair, Frontier City or Turner Falls. Hahaha.

I've been going to an annual airshow, where beer is available, for over 40 years now. I've never seen anybody shitfaced there, but if it did happen I'm sure the plentiful police could handle the situation. And if my kid saw a drunk person it would be my opportunity to talk to him about the dangers of alcohol abuse. What's the problem exactly?
