At The Vid, they had two options: a can of tomato soup for $8 or a $15 Hot Pocket.
There was no stove. No microwave.
The blue laws were changed later, but this is what it took to serve liquor on Sundays in Indiana.

Same thing happened in my state until the law was changed - breweries needed to offer food to sell carry out. So they had very silly overpriced menus - like a can of soup for $10. Technically available, just never ordered.

Yeah, during the pandemic in New York open container laws were lifted so you could buy to-go cocktails — but you had to get food with them. Bars would give out little packs of pretzels or cheap chips with the drinks, we called them Cuomo chips.

“an old desiccated ruin of dust-laden bread and mummified ham or cheese”. I doubt there was a recipe, by the sounds of it. Start with bread that sounds like a 2x4 when you strike it against the table, add fuzzy cheese, maybe a slice of over-aged sandwich meat, skip the mayo, that will just smell foul (fowl? Because it’s made of eggs?) add some sauerkraut, just to make sure it smells kinda funky, and bam! You got a soup going… no, wait, that’s a sandwich.

I'm guessing it was more like a code word. I know it's not in the same realm but kind of like ordering an Angel Shot in some bars. So in this case they're ordering a "sandwich" but they really are ordering booze

They had a rule in the UK that you could only consume alcohol with a "substantial meal" to try and prevent a bunch of people sitting around the bar in close quarters just drinking. So pub owners tried to tiptoe the line of what constituted a substantial meal. Many just offered a scotch egg since it was something relatively cheap on the menu that their patrons could order and then drink the rest of the night with their "substantial meal."

The way some liquor laws used to work in Texas was bars could only sell liquor if they were a “private club” so places started selling lifetime memberships for $10 and as a new member it came with a free drink. Liquor laws don’t do anything; they’re so dumb. We also still have the laws that you can’t purchase liquor New Year’s Eve or Day so people just buy the day before Eve. Just makes stores more congested

I have never heard of the Raines Sandwich before, but I guess everything old is new again! In early summer 2020 in California, restaurants were allowed to reopen with limited seating, but bars were not. There is a brewery in Paso Robles that never had a kitchen, but they reopened anyway. You had to buy a 50¢ Cup-o-noodles with every pint, so that technically alcohol was only being served with food. But it was a sealed noodle cup, with no hot water. And there was a barrel discreetly placed at the end of the bar for receiving "donated" noodle cups.

Some restaurants in Utah used to do stuff like that because you couldn’t just have alcohol if you were at a restaurant bar. They’d give you some bread or something like that to get around it.

At some point, I'm going to talk to my doctor about my difficulty getting to sleep. In the past, they've mentioned about how much better I was doing when I was active in sports, which I said that was when I was regularly consuming cannabis but have since stopped (because I don't have the black market connections). They're aware that cannabis helps me, but can't prescribe it for anxiety or depression, or even bring it up for discussion for what it could be prescribed for, because of the laws here. If, however, I'm having trouble sleeping, they might be able to prescribe me a herbal remedy which can be made into a tea (because selling dried plant matter for consumption via the lungs is illegal owing to potential harm).

I’m in Vic, I held a liquor license for a bar for a while so I was relatively good with the laws. What I learnt most of all is that VGLR enforces the law based on context. The food rule is gonna be a lot more strict at a sit down bar than at a nightclub, but the reverse would be true for the water rule.
As the dude who ran my liquor license training said, (paraphrase) sometimes it’s safer to stick a drunk in the corner and ply them with water and food until they sober up a bit, is that what the law says? No, but that’s why laws are written vaguely, so common sense can prevail. (Liquor license people are not cops but they work with cops so have that argument elsewhere)

My favorite bar here in NYC is a speakeasy called "The Raines Law Room".

That’s fair. Acronyms are the worst, they trade brevity for clarity. I campaign against them at work and in other spaces for this exact reason. Sadly they are going no where. NA could just have easily been a “North American” beer or something else*

We didn't quite get to prohibition in New Zealand, but we (along with Australia) got what became known as the "six o'clock swill", because it was a race to get as much beer in from the end of the working day until the pubs shut an hour later.
To get around this one notorious pub started serving 'meals' that were nothing more than a bowl of rice. For 2/6 (approx 25 cents) you'd get an extra four hours drinking time.
