During almost all of that time, he would have to purchase his beer at a liquor store, which he wasn\u2019t used to from his home state of Iowa. \u201cIn Iowa, you can get your groceries and grab your beer all in one stop,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cWhen I moved to Colorado, I had to get used to making two stops. Then, of course, they used to have that ridiculous Sunday thing.\u201d Campbell didn\u2019t immediately switch to buying all his beer from the grocery store. \u201cAt first, it was something I only did late at night, like I was ashamed of it,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cThen, as their selection improved, I started being a little more brash about it. Buying it before 5PM, walking out with four to five six packs, and so on. It\u2019s getting a little easier.\u201d Campbell admits he still feels stigmatized when walking out of King Soopers with beer in his hand. \u201cI definitely feel like I get some looks. Which is weird, because if you walk out of a liquor store any time of day, no one cares. I guess it\u2019s the same thing as drinking at a pool. Someone sees you drinking at an outdoor pool, they assume you\u2019re having a relaxing, fun day. If you\u2019re spotted drinking at an indoor pool, you\u2019re an alcoholic.\u201d For Campbell\u2019s position, he\u2019s getting more comfortable. \u201cPart of it is just the time and money of it. One stop, great deals, it\u2019s close by. Just makes it easy.\u201d Campbell says he is not done going to liquor stores, however. \u201cI still need to get my whiskey and wine,\u201d says Campbell. So, when I need to stock up or have company coming, I still go to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cobev.co\/\" target=\"_blank\">Colorado Beverage Company<\/a>. They still have the biggest selection and best deals on beers. But, if it\u2019s nine o\u2019clock on a Monday night, and the beer fridge is empty, there\u2019s no shame in heading to King Soopers\u2026right?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7493","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-162","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7493"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7757,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7493\/revisions\/7757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
