Quasi legal question

Does anyone know if there are any rules against advertising a Tennessee liquor store on a blog?

Why wouldn't a weblog be considered print advertising where liquor ads a perfectly legal?; 08 February, 2007 16:54
Vol Abroad said...: Dunno. All that stuff about alcohol and the law always seemed pretty arcane to me. After all, I went to high school in a dry city and a semi-dry county.

But I was just thinking of getting into the liquor store ad business - for select clientele only, mind.; 08 February, 2007 22:03

You mean that drive-thru beer store on the eastern edge of town was not actually in the L'burg city limits?; 09 February, 2007 16:45
Vol Abroad said...: Nope - that was handily just shy of the city limits. There were two in fact - one on either side of the highway.

The one on the left (as you left town) got shut down for selling beer to minors...eventually.

I think they may be within city limits now - but now you can actually buy beer in town.; 10 February, 2007 08:47
