Um, no, we are not like Jersey or NY folks, we are a breed all our own! :] But I guess to southerners we may seem very similar? Maybe we are and I'm just in denial since it's baseball season. Speaking of, Johnny Damon's doing a book signing next Tuesday! :swoon:

I have lots of German ancestors, and I don't think I have any Confederate ancestors. Well, lets just say that if I do, they probably lived in a shack, not a huge columned plantation home. From what I've been told, we was po'. :p

What the hell is a drive through liquor store? I've never seen one. :laugh: I find it interesting that people from Wisconsin call fountains "bubblers," too.

We had this new teacher from Missouri in our middle school a couple years ago and when a kid asked to go to the bubbler she promtly replied, "Just what are you going to do there?" She had no clue.

the genealogy on my Mother's side of the family includes one General Robert E.Lee as a family member (I prefer my Father's side of the family, Which includes both Erik the Red & the Queen of Prussia as our ancestors!!!)...So I guess we all are related, Cousin! :nod:

Something we will NEVER see here in PA. Good lord - the government here has a tight restriction on all alcohol sales. There was just a big battle over opening a small percentage of state liquor stores on Sundays (in the past there was only sales of six packs in restarants on Sundays). Beer must be bought at beer distributors (or restaurants that sell 6 packs) and all liquor must be bought at a "state store". No grocery stores or 7-11s here that sell anything alcoholic.

some many drunken asshats/asstards/f**ktards reside in Oklahoma..."Let the government dictate tobacco sales here in OK but leave our mutha#$%^ing beer/liquor alone, Cause the Bible shows evidence that even Jesus loved to down some alcohol...Thus alcohol is more acceptable" :lol:

I thought that only Rhode Islanders called them 'bubblas'. :confused: Mass people always make fun of us. :shrug: My photography instructor is from Boston and he said that he never heard of a 'bubbla' until he came to RI. :laugh:

I have never, ever, heard of bubbler. ever. only drinking fountain or water fountain. Most say drinking fountain. (water fountain? are there fountains that shoot other things?)
I thought it was weird that a lot of my answers said "West Great Lakes" region. I have lived here all my life. My grandma and great aunt moved from Michigan, but I wouldn't think that would influence much. :shrug:
uh, innyways.

[skcin]

In NY, we can buy beer & malt beverages at the grocery store. Liquor & wine from the liquor stores (which are privately owned.) Depending on the county, sales stop at a certain time.

I'm in Erie County, so you can legally start buying alcohol at 8am. Except Sundays, when you can't buy any alcohol before 12 noon (which puts a real damper on football games if you forgot to grab beer the night before. :laugh: ) Sales stop at 3 or 4am.

Liquor stores used to be closed Sunday by law, but they just changed it. The store can now be open on Sunday, but they must choose another day that wek to be closed. :rolleyes: Most just stay closed Sun unless there's a holiday involved or it's football season.

As far as I know we do not have any drive-through liquor stores, but a few will deliver. :D

Oh, to live in another state . . .

PA has so many outdated laws regarding the sale of liquor and beer it is ridiculous. We aren't able to buy wine online and have it shipped to us (legally, that is) and we aren't allowed to buy wine, say on a vacation to VA, and cart it home across the border (again, legally that is). Also, no liquor can be sold at strip joints unless the girls wear G-strings and pasties.

How do I know all of this? In law school, I worked as a law clerk for the PA State Police. :laugh:

[amber]

Sales stop at 3 or 4am.

This? rocks. I remember many a night of us trying to make it to AM/PM before 1:45.... :laugh:
There are no days here, of course, where you can't buy liquor. I think the bars can't open until later in the morning, though. But liquor stores are open way before that, so... :confused:

Nope he was born and raised in south Boston. I also thought that RI was the only place where you could order a grinder and a cabinet without people looking at you like you have 8 heads. :laugh:

Yeah, and for ha-has don't forget to throw in the 18% tax on liquor sales to help fund the rebuilding of Johnstown after the flood in 1936. Un-frickin-believable.

29% (Yankee). You show a very strong Yankee score.

And, this is the first time I've heard the term bubbler. I think it's pretty cool.

I got basically the same. 29% Yankee. I live in CONNECTICUT! :laugh: I've never heard of a drive thru liquor store either. That sounds slightly illegal, and definitely not safe. :laugh: And I've never heard of a bubbler either.

In Indiana, bars and liquor stores close at 3 AM. They stop either midnight or 1 AM on Saturday night/Sunday morning, because there is no Sunday liquor sales here. You can buy beer in a bar on Sunday, but you can't take it home. YOu have to drink in the bar... There are no drive thru's, and you can't buy cold beer or liquor in a grocery store... :shrug: You can buy beer in a gas station, and a pharmacy.

Interesting because growing up on the South Shore we definitely called it a bubbalah. :laugh: When I saw the question I was like, "Is that so weird?" :shrug:

Grinders I've heard of but we mostly call them subs and you're on your own with the cabinet. It's a drink, right? My friend Mike is from RI and he told me what it is but I forget.

Oh yeah, and for soda I actually grew up calling it "tonic" when I was little. My parents called it this but I don't know where that comes from.

Amber, of course your language is influenced by your family! It gets passed down. But it's also influenced by other things like geography obviously.

I had jury duty yesterday and the judge had a thick Boston accent. It is always sort of funny to hear a person in a prestigious position say things like "Jurah numbah 5, please approach the bench." :laugh: I love it. :nod:

right, but i mean, everyone else I can think of that i've known has said things the same as I do. And only a couple of my answers said "Southwest & California" or "wherever and California".

I forgot about that! It's illegal here to buy beer at a bar & take it home with you. You must drink it at the bar (then drive home :laugh: ) I was in PA & a friend of mine told me he was going to the bar to buy a case of beer for home. That confused me.

They recently changed the law about wine, though. You can take home whatever you don't finish (used to have to discard it or chug-a-lug before you left.) :p

Surprised I only got 70%, I thought it'd be higher since I've lived in Georgia all my life. If they had asked questions what does "jaeetyet" meant I would have been way up there. For my mothers side of the family I have aunts, but my daddy's side I have aints (like "ain't you going out tonight").
Oh to be southern, it is a lovely thing... :p

Ok Diss, why is Friendly's soooo nasty? Do I really want to know? I went there for take out the other day and I threw the food out. :shocked: The fries were cold and soggy and the chicken strips looked like they were not cooked. The sundae was good but sometimes they don't even do that right. The best sundae that I ever had at a Friendly's was at one is S. New Jersey not far from AC. :laugh:

[Janet]

39%, yes I am a Yankee

[Janet]

I can't believe you can get liquor from anywhere but a liquor store.

Each township has their own rules. Like a resturant can't sell liquor at a table past like 9 on Sunday and stuff like that....

I have a bar that was open until 3, and that was late. You had to get out by 2:30 tho.

Places like Houllihans and Fridays stay up that late as long as you hold no drink past 2:30.

But if I want to buy liquor, there isn't a liquor store open past 10 anywhere that I know of. It's much cheaper in NJ than in PA, where my 6 pack of Twisted Teas is 6.99, there it's almost 10 dollars!

I went to Vegas and I was shocked to see liquor at a CVS or something like that! Right in the cooler! It's like that in Europe too and it's facinating. So convenient.

[Janet]

Friendly's is ok. I never had a problem there. When my dad died, we were so poor. My mom worked there for a couple of years so we ate there for free alot cause they felt sorry for us probably LOL. But I liked the food. It was fresh. Ice cream was good. I still get yearnings for Friendly's and there are a million near me!

As for subs or grinders?? I call them hoagies. There are places called Sub Shops and such but I will just call it a hoagie.

I call the grocery store the supermarket. No one I know calls it that except my mom, who is from Philly.

it's cool to see even though some of us are in the same country, we speak so differently.

It is a drug store chain like a Walgreens. CVS is based right here in Rhode Island. The lovely city of Woonsocket, actually.

There is a store on almost every street corner out here.

I hate getting prescriptions from CVS, I usually just go out of my way to get scripts filled at Big Y because they're quick and don't give you a hard time. :laugh: And it drives me nuts getting that CVS ExtraBucks crap in the mail!

Just to go more OT:

We have CVS, Walgreen's, Eckerd & Rite Aid. :cool:

We get ours right on the receipts now. Now you have to wait because the register prints out this very long receipt with all of these useless coupons. I have to remember to use them to because they expire. I have one for $3.50 off of photo finishing so I better use it.

We have McD's, Burger King & Wendy's. I like Wendy's best, their food seems fresher & they have more healthy choices (of course, I've never found a finger in my chili, so...) :o We also have some Arby's & a few Hardees are still around.

No Sonic, no White Castle, no Jack in the Box. I didn't have JitB until I went to the Grand Canyon in 2000. It was.....eh. I've still never had the others.
