We were charged with making dinner one day on vacation in Pennsylvania, and we went to the grocery store to get supplies, except there was no beer or wine there, so we asked someone, and they said we had to go to the liquor store, and (I think I'm remembering this correctly) we showed up at the liquor store, where we could buy the wine, but not the beer. So we asked there, and they said we had to go to a beer distributor to buy the beer, but refused to recommend one, so we drove around blindly until we saw beer signs, and went into this warehouse, and the smallest thing they sold was a case. We only wanted a six pack, so they told us to go to a bar. We didn't know where a nearby bar was, so we just bought a case. Meanwhile, we drove past the liquor store on Main street like 5 times during all this. It would have been a lot easier to just go buy a bottle of vodka or something to drink with dinner.

If the idea is to give you a healthy relationship with alcohol, Pennsylvania is doing it all wrong. They are encouraging you to DRINK, and not moderately.
