It was one of those nights when you turn off the lights, and every thing comes into you...fresh_42 said:
You're two weeks early: the UK (and the rest of Europe) haven't changed the clocks yet.nsaspook said:

FYI, Baileys and Coke curdles more or less instantly. A friend ordered a vodka and coke and a Baileys and the bartender was new and got mixed up. The result looked so revolting none of us dared taste it...fresh_42 said:
I couldn't imagine from which country this picture stems. You can buy Whisky Coke and similar at every gas station in one can over here. Mixing those things isn't even necessary.Ibix said:
Don't they have special drug dealers for liquor in the US? I mean, we are talking about a market that forbids Kinder surprise eggs and probably Mon Chéri as we know it. So wouldn't all that soda stuff in a liquor store be just wasted space? That's why I thought it could have been from the UK, but I stumbled upon Crush, too.Ibix said:

Doesn't matter. My thought was, if it is Scotland, the probability is high that it had come to your attention by local media or internet feeds. And if it was an official traffic sign, then it would exist in England, too. The picture I first saw this sign (without the text add-on) could well have been in Britain judging by its background. But it was on fb, which means there is no chance of ever finding it again. I usually "like" such memes for that matter, but I didn't "like" it this time.Ibix said:

If the Wikipedia article Comparison of traffic signs in English-speaking territories is to be believed, the only English-speaking country that uses triangular signs on a yellow background is Nigeria.fresh_42 said:
Wouldnt the labels of Pepsi, Coca Cola and so on be in English everywhere?Ibix said:
I would expect the Crush drink to have a localised version for the flavour, at least.martinbn said:
I don't understand: If I put Orange Crush in a new Tab, will I get a Tab Orange?collinsmark said:
I checked it. It is no official sign in Germany although some of these places could well be here.berkeman said:
In the US, liquor laws vary by state and sometimes by county. When I lived in Virginia, liquor (sprits) was sold only in state-owned stores. In Connecticut, liquor/beer/wine sales stopped at 8:00 PM, and the stores were tightly controlled by an "association" of store owners (-> you had to be one of the "boys" to get a license). In Florida, you could take a half-consumed drink out and drive away ("can I get that in a go-cup, please?) -- try that in Connecticut and the owner would tackle you before you got out, otherwise he'd lose his license. There was a drive -thru convenience store in the Florida Keys where I bought draft beer, it comes in a paper cup with a straw, like a milk shake. When I lived in New Orleans, there were drive-thru daiquiri places. When I moved to Nevada, I noticed the drug stores sold fishing gear, liquor, ammunition and targets, as well as cigarettes, paperbacks, coolers, etc. with the actual pharmacy at the back.fresh_42 said:
Definitely much more regulated than in Europe, I can just get in a regular store buy myself some snickers, a diet Coke and a ton of vodka, whiskey etc.gmax137 said:
