In North Carolina ABC (liquor) stores ... a box hanging from a string by the register for donations to find the cure to alcoholism ... mmm...

lol - go figure

Interesting & also funny. However, in some strange way it actually makes sense to me. Probably a lot of people who buy at that store have a drinking problem and might feel empathy toward the cause. I have a friend who is 100% sober and hasn't touched a drop in years (has a few of those anniversary coins from AA) yet he enjoys working in a bar. In 9 years I've never seen him fall off the wagon once, yet he's been a bartender and a bouncer at night to make extra money.
