Going to jail

Antlady69

I live in Bavaria, and they just passed a law here that gas stations are allowed to sell alcoholic beverages to "travellers" after 22:00. This law means that gas stations canNOT sell alcohol to pedestrians and bicyclists, as those are not considered travellers; they can, however, sell beer to vehicle drivers, as those ARE "travellers" in their logic.

Not only does it make no sense whatsoever to allow car drivers to drink (as a consequence), it also increases traffic as all "non-travellers" now get out their cars and drive up to the gas stations if they want to buy alcohol.

Well done, Bavarian government #sarcasm
