Response:

Indiana, outlined in article 7.5 of the Indiana State Code. alcohol is permitted to be sold 7a.m through 3a.m monday through saturday. Sunday it is not legal to sell any carry out alcohol. You can go to bars and restaurants and drink there though, until midnight sunday (((the bar has to serve food to be able to serve alcohol on sunday))). We have no low point alcohol restrictions. technically you can buy on sunday from 12a.m to 3a.m ((but it is easier to consider this times slot ’saturday night’ rather than ’sunday morning’.

Just about spot on. Not that Canada doesn’t have lots beer, of course. My Canajun wife would also agree – and doesn’t miss the snow one little bit. Especially since she experienced a summer Christmas on the beach eating prawns and crayfish and drinking a chilled NZ Sauvignon Blanc.

Response:

Oh of course, we do. I think love of beer is pretty mutual. Yeah, i think when i’m done university I may look for a warmer place to live at least for a few years. I don’t mind snow. It’s the shoveling that gets to me. And the cold. And the slush. And getting sprayed with slush by buses passing you by. And the road salt that ruins your shoes….and…. Thing is, most of the hot sunny countries seem to be the most screwed (Socially, politically etc..) up as well, so Australia seems rather special.

Response:

When I was in Arizona recently, I was mildly surprised to see all types of alcoholic substances for sale in the grocery stores. I even saw a gift pack of Knob Creek Bourbon with 2 collector’s shot glasses for sale in a Safeway– a full fifth, even! –for $19.00!!! I bought a fifth here in Oregon last March for our 21st anniversary and spent $32.00. — –DAsh obvious with attbi)

Response:

I don’t believe for a moment that you are the immediate past Prime Minister of Australia.

Hey Paul, I told you on the mailing list that "Paul Keating" was some well-known politician in Aussie-land, I had no idea he was quite this well known, though cheers, -Alan

Response:

Hmmm….. A newfie prime minister of Australia? no , I won’t..there’s just too many possible jokes buried in that which should remain buried.. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I don’t believe for a moment that you are the immediate past Prime Minister of Australia.

HMm….now that you mention it Paul, yes, I did! Gee, i almost *forgot* about that… The next time our paths cross I could give alll the sordid details, but it;s not something for a family NG.

Response:

Is it hard to immigrate to Australia? (ie get Aussie citizenship as well)?

My understanding is that yes, it is. If I am not mistaken they have a point system like New Zealand where you get points for various things like having specific trades, being married, having a kid, yadda, yadda, yadda. A buddy of mine tried to immigrate to NZ a few years ago so I got to know a fair bit about the ins and outs of it all. If I am not mistaken NZ based their system on Australia’s. But if you have a university education and a skill that is in demand, that gives you quite a bit of points. cheers, -Alan

Wish we had that system in the US…

Hey guys (and gals) — We’re about to move and I’m sizing up a number of states we picked as potential destinations.

You’ve decided to change states *before* you know where you’re going? :-) Why, may I ask? As crazy as this sounds, one of my criteria is a state WITHOUT "blue laws"… where I can find a good pub on a Sunday night, or buy a good IPA after 9 pm, etc. Blue laws are an annoyance since much of my time off is on Sunday. Is there a state-by-state breakdown ANYWHERE of blue-law status in each state?

Most States in Australia would match your criteria. I live in Canberra, A.C.T. (Australian Capital Territory – kinda like D.C. but larger area, tiny population and *very* much less crime) which is even better in that regard. *And* it has one of the best homebrew shops ever ;-) Cheers Richard F.

Response:

Massachusetts it varies by city/town. Bars in Boston are open till 2am, but down on the Cape they close at 1am. Same for liquor stores. Some towns are open till 11pm, others close at 10, some even at 9. Although in Quincy there are some liquor stores that close at 9pm, but others that are open till 11pm. There are also a few towns that wont allow a liquor store to open up for business, but they allow restaurants to serve alcohol. Yes thats right you can drive your car to a restaurant to get drunk then drive home, but you can’t drive your car to a liquor store to get the alcohol to bring home and get drunk in your own home (within town limits that is). I think there are only 1 or 2 towns that have this policy though. On the other hand they can’t stop you from going to the next town to buy the alcohol though. . I also know that in Woburn, MA if your having a drink at the restaurants bar waiting for your table and your table becomes available, but your not done with your drink, the waitress has to take your drink from you and bring it to your table for you. You can’t bring your own drink to your table. Yes there are still some very very stupid by-laws in the great state of Massachusetts. Liquor stores in Mass are closed Sundays, except between Thanksgiving and New Years or in towns that border New Hampshire. New Hampshire liquor stores are open on Sundays year round, but I don’t know about hours of operation. In Connecticut liquor stores close at 8pm. I don’t know about bars. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hey guys (and gals) — We’re about to move and I’m sizing up a number of states we picked as potential destinations.

Response:

I wouldn’t be so concerned with Blue Laws as with alcohol restrictions. Most of the Bible belt is under some sort of restrictions on alcohol content. As far as blue laws, most in the South allows selling till 2am, and purchasing as early as 7 am, except on Sundays where purchasing begins about noon. Cheers, Mike
