[net.legal] Demon Rum

[Another bar, beertender!]

Just for the sake of comparison:

in New York State you can buy beer and liquor on almost any day, but ...
you must pay cash for it.  None of those plastic things.

The idea is to make it harder to drink yourself into debt, I suppose.

Until fairly recently, NY required you to pay your bar tab in cash when
charging a meal at a restaurant.
