Not that any of it applies to us in PA (State Liquor Board).

Buying it online is ok.

Just be careful not to drink it while you're online. That's nothing but trouble.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Ohio used to be more like that, at least with liquor. Beer and wine you could purchase at carryouts, but for liquor you had to go to the state store.

At the state store all the stock was in the back. There were sample bottles of everything in locked glass cases with pads of paper and pencils. You would find what you wanted, write down the stock number and size, then go to the window and the clerk would get it for you and take your money. They all wore these hideous mustard color cotton jackets.

Of course you could go in there at 16 and if you did not act like an idiot and filled it out right they would normally sell to you, even though the age was 21.
