You've got to differentiate them from the stoned, tripping, speed-freak, and coked-out students somehow. No, not redundant at all.

Like Oregon, the hard stuff is available only in state stores (or on tree stumps - can you still get the home made in Oregon?) When I was a kid in Florida, my parents had to drive over to the beach to get beer on Sunday. We liked that fact, because it meant we got to go to the beach. Whiskey was a luxury my family mostly eschewed, although Dad was not averse if it was in the room. Is drunken college students still redundant?

Then she taught high school German in South Carolina and the south side of Chicago. She's ready to clear out the shelves, too.

One of the supermarkets near campus devotes about 1/3 of its shelves to liquor.

The last time I was south of the border, one could buy hard liquor in grocery stores. In Oregon hard liquor is only available in liquor stores (which are indeed closed on Sunday) and designated hard liquor drinking establishments. Beer and wine though, are available through most grocery and convenience store retailers, as well as taverns and bars. David,
