Apparently a term not used much in Ohio or Florida.
Our niece is a regional sales representative for a major U.S. Wine Company. Uncle was regional sales manager for many years for Jim Beam. Father and Grandfather were managing directors of a large family owned brewery in Ohio. Both brewmasters. Just because I don't drink, doesn't mean I haven't heard the language. I have never heard a bar called a dram shop. EVER. Until this day. Shows you that our language is regional. We try not to get on the wrong side of the law.... Although a couple of lawyers have snuck into the family.
