I come from Maryland, where individual counties set liquor laws, and most of those counties are run by puritans.

Remember how last year I was so distraught about missing the Epcot Food & Wine Festival I made a to-eat list even though I wouldn’t be there? Some of my saner work, I must say. Well, this year no one needs to worry about my mental state: I am, as is right and proper, going to be at the...
