re: Savannah in the Finals - Help your state win

The beer laws are local ordinances. Up until last year, you could drink on Folly Beach. Bunch of rowdy July 4th-ers ruined it for everyone.

What's being overlooked here is that olddawg26 absolutely did not stay at Charleston Place and he did not dine at McCrady's. For one, no bar in the vicinity of Charleston Place serves alcohol in plastic cups (as a frame of reference, the two bars in CHS Place are next to a Gucci and Louis Vuitton store and you'd be out of place sans blazer and loafers). Nor are there plastic cups in the rooms.

Second, a few nites at Charleston Place plus a dinner at McCrady's will already set you back four figures. I've lived in Charleston awhile and only eaten at McCrady's three times. I've only stayed at Charleston Place once. A weekend like that would be equivalent to someone claiming they recently visited Atlanta and stayed at the Four Seasons and ate at Ocean Prime and Hal's. Which is decidedly NOT the vibe that olddawg26 is putting off... a person whose primary concern a/b where to live being whether or not you can get drunk on the sidewalk isn't generally the type of person ordering the tasting menu and requesting recos from the sommelier at McCrady's.

So I'll just go ahead and call bullshite on that.
