In the mean time, they have to find new sources of revnue. Which means maybe they will chill on the curent laws.
This is more a state law issue than a USPS issue. Some states do not allow the transport of alcohol sent over state lines via post. I happen to live in one of those states - which does not allow my participation in a Wine of the Month club that I used to belong to.

About as likely as finding a snow leopard hater here. Or a full six-pack of anything. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/raspberries.png)

Well maybe if you weren't all afog in drunken revelry you'd wise up and hate them now, wouldn't you? ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/raspberries.png)

Virgil, look around. You DO know where you are, right? I mean, sheesh, I am neither drunken nor in a state of revelry, and even I know better than to suggest anything different. Especially since it is a short work week for many of us. Why stop the weekend at this point, when another is coming up shortly? ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/tongue2.png)

No sufficiently sober individual is capable of feeling anything but revulsion for those... things. Why do you think Russia is using one as a mascot for the Sochi olympics? Because the Russians are all stone cold sober?
Pfft. Right.
No ma'am, he's going to be "Spotty the Booze Cat". Spot him at an Olympic venue and you know exactly where to go to get liquored up.

Virgil just called me OLD!!! ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) Oh, wait, I am old. Never mind. Beats having a sign that says, "Free vodka here. Drink 'til you stink." Oh, wait, I think that's Rick's motto. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

I did not vote. I try not to drink in excess - but it happens about six times a year (maybe more). The next day I wonder "WTF, Why didn't I quit drinking?" That happened Saturday night and the time before that was only one month ago. ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

Pssst... word is the USPS will allow shipment of beer and wine soon! yay! I've been waiting for this forever. The state I live in does not allow shipments of booze across state lines. This really sucks when I want to buy wine from vineyards that do not sell in ANY stores. Mich1, Hate to break it to you. USPS will honor the state laws. The real question you have to know is - is it a felony or a misdemeanor in your state?

I put myself down as a repentent drinker. I do drink- well and often- but I don't find it a terribly interesting topic of discussion unless I'm with friends and we're laughing about past events. Pretending to drink on the internet just doesn't interest me.
I drank a lot of on Saturday at my surprise party (thanks honey!), but I know how to drink so I woke up feeling great... after a pitcher of sangria and a good bottle of wine. ;D

Tina, LMAO!! If it's late afternoon or evening I'm usually not pretending, nor am I drunk. I'm more of a "making love" to my drink kind of girl. Unless I'm out dancing or at a party... then I never know what I'll do that night - depending on how I feel. And I love internet drinking! No hangover and it's much cheaper and you can start really early! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Virgil, you live vicariously through us, don't you. That's why you like to know all these details. ;D
