ATLANTA -- An anti-drunk driving organization and a mother who lost a son to a drunk driver are livid after finding out a southwest Atlanta package store sells liquor and cups of ice through its drive-thru.

A store employee told Channel 2’s Tom Jones that it is an American right for people to buy liquor and a cup of ice to drink on their way home.

State regulations clearly show it is a state violation for package stores to sell anything but bags of ice. That means cups of ice are not allowed. An employee at one liquor store told Channel 2 that’s un-American.

“It’s the American way,” said employee Chris Melton.

Melton works at Ben Hill Package Store and said he is not happy state alcohol agents are forcing the store to stop selling cups of ice.

“These cats, they have a hard day at work, they come to the liquor store, buy a cup of ice…most people. I’m not saying all of them. Before they get home, they’re gonna drink and drive,” said Melton.

He said a message on the store’s cash register urges customers not to drink and drive.

1. Brilliant, Melton. That CONFESSION should save time and a few tax $$$.

Hey genius- when you do crap like this, you have to PRETEND
that you aren't aware there's anything wrong with it.

NOT give an interview where you ADMIT that you are aiding
and abetting illegal behavior:
"I’m not saying all of them. Before they get home, they’re
gonna drink and drive,” said Melton.

That small noise you hear is Melton's lawyer groaning.

3. Oh, and there's more...

“They’re going to do it the American way and have a drink while they’re driving,” said Melton.

2. My Civics and US History classes were seriously deficient

Because this is a part of the "American Way" that I was never informed of. :shrug:

This clerk is a moron...

4. That's 'cause you wasted your time sitting in class

instead of going to the parking lot for a drink and a smoke.
