At home, right? Or is this a new profit opportunity for Hooters?

Every time I see a map from this sub, I get monumentally confused for like 10 seconds like "wtf this can't possibly be true."

Every time.

This sub is the best.

I'll be dammed. The states shaded in blue allow underage drinking as long as you're in your own home and in the company of an adult.

Fun fact - in Wisconsin, you can legally drink in public if you are under 21 with consent and presence of a parent, legal guardian, or spouse, as long as they are over the legal drinking age. Regardless of your own age!

Most non-rural establishments don’t actually allow it, even though the law does. It’s too messy from a liability standpoint. It’s not even something you are required to know to get a servers license.

In Kansas it is the same unless the minor gets inebriated, in which case the adult is responsible for the intoxication.

The reason for allowing parents (or guardians) to give their kids alcohol in public is so religious people can have their tiny cups of wine as part of their ceremonies without getting raided by the cops with a bonus for letting your high schooler have a beer after working on the farm as long as they don't drunk.

unfair to not have it say "the ruler" and include land conquered by Alexander the Great

Alcohol is the good drug.

Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.

So... how soon can I expect my own private pig war to begin? :-D

Well, if you know about it, wouldn't it mean it's that much less likely?

What you need to do is forget about it, then when the next Great Pig War happens, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

bibliotectress ,

His death hit me really hard. I think partly because I watched a lot of his videos during the pandemic with my kids, and he was only 4-5 years older than my son. I found out when everyone else did about his cancer, but I figured he was fine because I hadn't really heard anything about it until his dad's video. It wrecked me, and kinda still does.

Map needs updated, one of the disputes that escalated the Hatfield-McCoy feud concerned the ownership of a hog. The feud lead to the Governors of Kentucky and West Virginia threatening to invade each other and ended when Kentucky's Adjunct General (highest ranking office of the state militia) Sam Hill ordered a military incursion into West Virginia.

I'm sorry, but with 98% reporting, Florida was called for Flannel. It was a big upset for sure.
