This is the kind of thing you are forced to do in Yakima for entertainment. Living in a place like that is like having a white hot knife jabbed into your eyeball 24/7. Sad but true...trust me on this one.
The puritanical attitudes we have toward booze in the U.S. are insane.
The amount of $$ govts spend to keep booze out of the hands of 18-20 yr olds, regulating where and when it can be consumed etc. could be put to better use like more funding for rehab programs.
I mean the OLCC tried to ban beer gardens a few years back saying shows/venues should either be all over 21 or completely dry.

Maybe they're conservatives. After all, the laws don't apply to them...

Maybe they thought they were in a McMenamins-style establishment?

Yeah, kind of funny, but most movie theaters are happy to bust you just as fast for bringing your own water/coffee/food.
