We didn’t go to one, we just walked past one. It was just down the street from the restaurant. ---

[QUOTE=Tripler] . . . and on a slight note, I don’t see anywhere in the [Hockey DopeFest thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=382386) where I said “Go forth and rent ice!” That’s not to say it ain’t a splendid idea though! So, um, yeah . . . get on that! Tripler Drunken zamboni rides for everyone! Yay! [/QUOTE] Oh, you’re precious..

[QUOTE=Tripler] . . . and besides, Houston County is dry on Sundays. [/QUOTE] Welcome to Georgia. In general, the entire state is dry on Sundays. You can get a drink with dinner in some resturants, but most bars are closed and all package stores are closed. The exceptions are generally “private” stores. These are clubs and stores that sell “memberships” for a nominal fee. Once you are a member, you can purchase alcohol 7 days a week. -Belz ---

Probably not b/c of the Dopefest, but really - who could say 100%? ---
