Remembering liquor in 1850s saloonless days
W. J. Bud Koster recalls the liquor scene before corner saloons in 1850. Whiskey was kept in grocery stores and wine shops, sold by the gallon for about $5 with customers taking it away. No drinking on premises and minimum age restrictions limited sale to those aged at least 21. In Galatia County, Minlos, there were only two beer saloons before the 1860s. The writer notes such sales would fuel social drinking today.
