I have spent too much time in the mid-west around 'dry counties' where the nearest alcohol is an hour or more away.
I am going to T-wall, and then on to the Looking Glass area and finally to Stone Mountain, NC. Will I be able to buy beer in these places? Any weird liqueur laws to be aware of?

There is definitely beer in NC. When you're at looking glass drive into Brevard and check out Big Mike's. The pizza is good and he'll probably still be in a good mood since he's a steelers fan and they won the super bowl.

The two dry counties in WNC I know of are McDowell and Madison, neither of which should affect your consumption in the vincinity of LG or SM.

Actually, the NC open container laws are as follows...
In reply to: Transportation of Open Container of Alcohol Open and closed containers of all alcoholic beverages are prohibited in all commercial motor vehicles (bus, eighteen-wheeler, dump truck, etc.) except as listed below. An open container of any alcoholic beverage is prohibited in the passenger area of any motor vehicle (commercial or non-commercial) located on the highway or highway right of way - even if the vehicle is parked except as listed below. If the seal on a container of alcoholic beverage has been broken, it is open. "Passenger area of a motor vehicle" means the area designed to seat the driver and passengers and any area within the reach of a seated driver or passenger, including the glove compartment. In the case of a station wagon, hatchback or similar vehicle, the area behind the last upright back seat is not considered part of the passenger area. If the driver has not consumed any alcohol, an open container of a malt beverage (beer, malt liquor, ale, hard lemonade) or unfortified wine (table wine, champagne) is not prohibited In the passenger area of a motor vehicle designed, manufactured and used primarily for transportation of persons for compensation (buses, taxi-cabs, etc.); In the living quarters of a motor home or home car; In a house trailer. Open containers of spirituous liquor (bourbon, gin, vodka, etc.), mixed drinks or fortified wine (wine with higher alcohol content, i.e., 17% to 24%, such as sherry or port) in the passenger area of any motor vehicle is always unlawful. The amount of unopened alcoholic beverage which may be transported without a permit is as follows: Not more than 80 liters of malt beverages, other than draft malt beverages in kegs Any amount of draft malt beverages in kegs Not more than 20 liters of unfortified wine Not more than eight liters of either fortified wine or spirituous liquor, or eight liters of the two combined. |

Down here in TN, the beer flows like wine. Just got to wait until afternoon on Sun--or buy enough to last.

BE AWARE, alcohol is not allowed in state parks in NC! Stone Mountain is a state park, and even having alcohol in your car will get you in trouble. They only made me dump it out, but I would guess he was having a good day that day. Brevard is a rad town, enjoy looking glass and stop by Dugans Pub, give Audrey a big tip!
