Doggy Bags for the Dogs

New York State has lifted a ban on restaurant owners sending home patrons' unfinished wine. There are regulations. However, the French started doing this a few months ago after the government cracked down on drunk driving.

The French, ever fickle, have not been drinking extra bottles at home. Instead, they simply stopped drinking. The wine industry is hurting, and most of the people who take the bottles home are tourists who don't know any better.

Meanwhile, New Jersey joined a number of states recently that lowered the Blood Alcohol Content for drivers.

So what's it all mean? It means its time to head to New York where you can get drunk and take the subway home.
