Poll of the Day > Rather than me driving to Ohio, can any of our Buckeye Friends dispel a myth

(+) Yeah! (+)

I heard this once and it sounded too dumb to be true. I tried googling for info in the past but I can't find shit.

Grocery stores in ohio sell cut versions of hard liquor, like Smirnoff Vodka(20% abv vs 35/40%)

Haven't been to ohio since somebody told me this, and while I wouldn't mind driving the hour there to find a grocery store, maybe it'd just be easier to ask.

This sounds like some idiotic urban legend shit, but i don't know.

I believe a few states and counties do that.

I grew up in Ohio. Yes its true.

And it tastes just as disgusting as it sounds.

That sounds weird but I dont drink so I dont know, I might check the local store later

---

Yes. But its only gas stations and the grocery stores without liquor licenses. Im pretty sure theres other states that do it too.

It was a pain in the ass when I moved here because I couldnt just google stores with liquor licenses.

I've always lived in Ohio and never seen that but I've never tried to buy liquor outside of a liquor store.

I have heard the same/similar with Utah. Certain major brands of beer/liquor make special versions just for those states with a limit on the ABV. Friend of mine lives in Utah and told me they cannot even order certain liquor since the shipping companies are not allowed to deliver em or something

Wow that is some serious nanny state BS

---

Yep you have to go to a liquor store to get above 40 proof
