Bye bye alcohol

Man that’s stupid.

If KPD only got 3 incidents, that’s pretty stupid to pursue the stop of sales.

The booze laws are stupid in the south

Horrible article. It doesnt say of police issues are up since they started selling beer. This is a key issue when a local rep says she had concerns before they started this. Sounds like people (officials) trying to find a reason to get rid of it.

Ain’t gonna happen. School make bank on booze

3 out of 120,000 sold. These prohibionists need to GTFO.

Hope not, my wife will have to go back to being my alcohol mule.

I was in school there in 1975 to 1980 (don't ask), and there was plenty of Liquor in the stands then. Selling beer helps to temper the fall down drunks from hard liquor. And I have a bottle of mustard to prove it!

The issue is the violations on the license owner. Which I would assume is Aramark. The beer board will absolutely suspend it over 3 violations. I don't agree with it. Especially in this type of environment. But they can do it. Not a thing the University can do about it. Obviously the governor and those types can

Why not suspend the actual person that sold the beer, instead of penalizing everyone?

Knoxville has so many issues with crime and homelessness and this is what they focus on?

Wasn't my point. The article is poorly written. So much more going on here.

I remember seeing a stand up comedian back in the day who absolutely loved coming to the south because you could, in his words, buy a bottle of whiskey at 9:00 in the morning. And I thought all this time that we were getting more liberal on that.

3 actual undercover informants. Shows it must have been a lot more than that.

Do you think 3 people told on themselves? If the undercover guys got hit, it means several regular underage kids got it. Regardless of how you feel, please comprehend better than a Georgia fan.

The only time bootleggers and Baptist preachers are in agreement is voting on whether to be dry county or wet.If you can remember in the 60's at UT,you had to go to Oak Ridge to by beer,or go to the "woodshed"on Ashville hwy or the lumberyard on Alcoa hwy.But,do not get ouy of your car,or thejunkyard dawgs will eat you up.Not referring at all to the ice in the doghouse dawgs.

Good point .

Money talks though so I'd be surprised tbh. That said, those 3 people got fired, can't serve alcohol for 7 years and got massive personal fines. I'm a bartender but there's no excuse.

You have to wonder if these politicians are happy to have their names in the news over this 3 days before an election.
