    Default Traveller Looking for Local Alcohol Laws

    I travel a lot for business, after a meeting with customers I always look for a nice place to take the edge off. As I broaden my travel locations I continue to learn about more and more conditions to our countries liquor laws. It doesn't just require you to be 21 or older. Each state, city, borough and county all have their own amendments to the law. I am looking for credible resources that can provide a common sense traveller from staying out of trouble without ending up with a fine or spending the night in jail.

    Then I would suggest googling the locale's local government website and peruse the laws there.

    For my own edification please provide a few examples of the laws you speak of. I can't say I'm aware of any laws along the line of what you speak of.

    I travel a ton, and I've never had a great problem. You get to the hotel or whatever and if there's not an obvious bar around, you ask the person at the desk where you can get a drink. Even in dry counties they can tell you where you have to go: "private club", over to the next county, whatever. What exact "requirements" are you looking for?

    No matter where you are, if you do not drive while over the legal limit, or otherwise impaired or behave like a fool in public while intoxicated, you are not going to get fined or jailed. In reality, your best bet is to mostly try to stay at hotels that have their own bars. In some cases, that may mean staying in a different county than the county where you happen to need to work at the time.

    You stay out of trouble by thinking before drinking.

    Wherever you drink, don't drive. DUI penalties have one thing in common no matter where you are. And that one thing is they put you through a serious and expensive nightmare.

    And when you do drink, drink in moderation. If it takes more than one or two drinks to "take the edge off" then you are an alcoholic and you need treatment.

    By the way having to have a drink to "take the edge off" sounds like alcoholism.

    If you drink in a restaurant or bar where they serve you the drink - and you do not drive impaired - you should be fine. If you bring the alcohol to your hotel room and do not otherwise cause a disturbance while binging, drinking, sipping, or taking the edge off, you should also be fine. Use common sense.
