Yeah I never see single 12 oz cans outside of liquor stores, who probably do it cause it's cheap. poo poo I actually can't remember the last time I saw a can vending machine either .

I see can vending machines all the time, but only in grocery stores and they're stocked with that stores bargain brand. The name brand machines only have plastic bottles.

That way you can get back to your game of pool/darts without waiting in line.

Then the bartenders wouldn't get tips, which would mean their employer would have to pay them more than $2 an hour or whatever.

Well yea (at least in America) barkeeps (and most other service-personnel) are paid less than the legal minimum wage because it is assumed that they will supply the lovely wage with a decent amount of tips. Obvs this never happens irl.

Japan has had cigarette vending machines all over the place forever, and it was only recently that this came up. Instead of shutting them down they ran a national campaign to retrofit them with card scanners. For like the two months leading up to the deadline you couldn't turn around in a public space without someone handing you an application form for the Taspo, short for I poo poo you not, "Tobacco Passport." Now everyone over 20 (I think) has one, and if anything there are even more vending machines.

We still have can machines here, but I'm in the south so that may have something to do with it. Man I remember being a little kid and getting change from my dad and buying him cigs from the vending machine in the big store at the mall. I think it was Montgomery Ward or something like that. It was pretty awesome though, had a big spring pull thing.

I think there's extra taxes on pre-mixed stuff because they were super popular with underage drinkers, but you can still get drinkable wine for $6 a bottle in some places. Let alone the famed goon sack. If you want to get plastered on the cheap in Oz, which is basically our national pastime, there's plenty of ways.

That way you can get back to your game of pool/darts without waiting in line. beer drinkers have to pay a premium to have someone open their cans/pour a draft, to pay to have someone behind the bar who can mix liquor drinks you can't use a vending machine to mix drinks because you have to legally charge for one quantity of liquor while secretly pouring a larger quantity

Where do you see that? It's actually labeled as Tennessee Whiskey. By Tennessee and US law it HAS to both be produced in Tennessee and required to be made with the Lincoln County Process. Substituting it with malt liquor, but labeling it as Tennessee Whiskey is a good way to get ATF and the state of Tennessee crawling up your rear end and get massive fines and the current stock destroyed. I mean sure, it's 7% ABV, but that's for the entire mixture, not the whiskey by itself.

Self-serve alcohol even in a properly enforced age-restricted environment would be a poo poo show waiting to happen, as far as liability is concerned. Any establishment that serves for consumption on premises has a human being doing the service for a reason. A fountain isn't going to cut someone off if they're too smashed. You'd have to have more security staff to keep an eye on people. I mean yeah, overconsumption happens all the time even with bartenders, but I think it'd happen a lot more without them. e: How the hell did I manage to bring that topic back up even after already I posted about something else on this page? I'm an idiot... Farmdizzle has a new favorite as of 08:18 on Dec 24, 2017 |

There's also state level weirdness like here in Iowa where people of any age can enter as long as it's a "taproom" and not a "bar" so just checking ID at the door wouldn't work there.
