Updated WakeLP: Privatizing the ABC system

We have a new date! May 13th.

Join WakeLP for a special event! John Trump (no relation), author of Still & Barrel: Craft Spirits in the Old North State and managing editor of the Carolina Journal will join us to talk about the history of North Carolina's ABC system and what we can do to privatize it. North Carolina has some of the toughest liquor laws in the country and it's ludicrous that the state has so much control over what establishments can sell, when they can sell it, what you can drink, and when you can drink it!

We will also hear from a local bar owner who has experienced challenges with the current ABC system. Damien Horne owns Hoppy Endings, which was recently voted as one of Raleigh's best bars:
