Just my luck, I rarely drink beer any more and was really looking forward to enjoying a few Guinness tomorrow while watching the Superbowl. So, I go down to Costco this morning to pick up a couple of sixes, get to the checkout with my beer and the other things I'm buying, all the while savoring the anticipation of drinking ice-cold Guinness tomorrow.

All of the sudden the girl at the checkout sets the beer to the side and says, "Sorry, we can't sell beer today, it's a dry day."

Me after I pick my chin up off the floor, "WTF!?! Why?"

Her: "Today's the election holiday and tomorrow's election day. No beer sales until Monday."

Me: "OMG!NO!!AAIIIEEEEEEE!!!THISSUX!!I'MAMERICANIDON'TEVENVOTEHERE!!FVCK!!!"


Cliffs:
I live in Mexico.
Tomorrow's a voting day.
No beer sales today or tomorrow.
I'm screwed.
No beer for me.
I'm going to shoot myself now.
 
You live in Mexico and can't buy beer?

I thought there was never a time you couldn't buy beer there.

lol, that's exactly what I thought.

The worst thing is, yesterday I went to a late afternoon movie with the wife and planned to stop by Costco and take care of it then. Well, my 3 year old daughter was playing at her friend's house for the afternoon, and when we go to pick her up after the movie, my wife tells me, "Why don't we stop by the pediatrician real quick and get her vaccination shot. They told me we don't need an appointment and we'll just go in and get her shot. It won't take long."

Almost 2 hours later we finally leave the pediatrician's office and it's getting late, so I think to myself I'll just stop by Costco in the morning and pick up the beer then. Wrong!

You need to ditch the kid... she's holding you down
 
That's what you want, a bunch of angry, hungover people deciding the fate of your country.

Maybe you'll all vote for 24/7 alcohol sales.
 
I live in the UK, and surely anything like that would intravene basic selling laws?

At the moment, 23:00 is the cutoff for buying alcohol in a shop, but hey, legislation is getting put through for 24 hour alcohol, baby!
