## Resource

North Carolina’s alcohol rules are wild—no random liquor stores, only government-run ABC outlets with strict hours and no “happy hour” deals. Beer and wine? Easy at most shops. ABC stores open 7 AM to 2 AM, Sundays still mostly off except in some cities now allowing sales at 10 AM. No discounts for specific groups, no bottomless drinks, and open containers? Must be in the trunk, not near the driver. And while being drunk isn’t illegal, acting drunk? That’s a whole different story. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
