ABC Approves Curbside Service

The Booze Board issued the following statement. 


In response to the Governor Reeves’ declaration of a state of emergency due to COVID-19, the Department of Revenue has enacted a temporary amendment to Title 35, Part II, Subpart 2, Chapter 3 of the Mississippi Administrative Code.  This amendment will allow customers to submit orders and pay liquor retailers by telephone or internet, and allow liquor retailers to provide on-premises curbside delivery.  The ABC considers this rule to have become effective March 16, 2020, will remain in effect for 120 days.  It may be viewed on the Department of Revenue’s website at www.dor.ms.gov, or at the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ms.gov.  The Department of Revenue will consider making a permanent change to the rule to allow for orders and curbside delivery when warranted during a state of emergency.  The ABC is authorizing this practice until April 30, 2020 at this time.  We will review the need to extend such authorization and issue a notification if it is extended.

Big deal. Drug dealers have done that for decades.

Nothing keeps the rabble pacified like liquor.

A friend in Philadelphia said the only place to buy liquor in PA is in the grocery stores. That would have been a nice option.

This is new? I personally know of one liquor store that has provided this service for some time. A known customer would call ahead, make her order and pay for it over the telephone, and someone would come into the parking lot and put her order in her car. I never knew that this could be a problem for some reason. How very strange these laws about liquor sales are.

Now the Baptists don't have to worry about being recognized at the liquor store!

Back in the day (prior to 1966) you drove across the river to the Gold Coast, which is nw in Flowood, pulled behind the building and your liquor was delivered to you in your car. It worked then so there is no reason it shouldn’t work now.

I think it's time for the Legislature to disband the ABC monopoly

@9:28- the state would miss out on too much $$$. Remember, there’s no greed like government’s greed.

Seeing another Baptist at the liquor store doesn't bother me nearly as much as seeing our youth minister at Romantic Adventures.

Louis LeFleur said...

LOL @ 11:13! Thanks for that!

I gave it up for Lent. If this keeps up I may have to renegotiate

Aisle B Bach said...

@11:13 you say another Baptist...so I assume you are Baptist...and you saw your youth minister......while IN Romantic adventures...right?...I mean, as long as there was no dancing...no harm no foul?

This is going to put pressure on legislature to approve direct shipments to citizens. A similar type bill failed due to local retailers lobbying against and scare tactics. They like their monopoly. Kinda funny that the so-called "free market" conservatives killed that bill.

If only cannabis had been legalised. We could've cured Covid-19 with rich, intoxicating smoke.

If you want to know which government regulations are unnecessary, look for rules that are immediately suspended in a crisis.

The Federal Highway Traffic Safety Administration has 'suspended' the law regarding truckers' 'hours of service'. That means they can now drive 20 straight hours. Isn't that sorta like suspending the speed limit for interstate driving so people can get where going in a hurry? Insanity is rampant.

From March 16 to April 30 is not 120 days. Did they also pass a law that everything they say has to be confusing?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
