Alcohol rulings spark confusion in North Carolina
State ABC Director Ray Brady said he would ignore an earlier instruction and await a formal order after a Raleigh meeting Friday. Judge H L Riddle Jr. enjoined Charlotte and Mecklenburg County officers and the State ABC Board from enforcing James Bullock's interpretation that liquor may be consumed only at home, ruling brown bagging and bottle clubs are legal. The applicability of the injunction to counties outside Mecklenburg is disputed, and the State Board may enforce or defer to local discretion. Judge Riddle warned the liquor law confusion will likely need General Assembly action.
