Still no mixed drinks on Hatteras

Like to spend time at the Outer Banks? You may already know you can’t buy a mixed drink on Hatteras Island.

And that isn’t going to change.

In yesterday’s elections in North Carolina, Hatteras residents went to the polls to vote on a measure that would have allowed the sale of mixed beverages on the island. The Virginian-Pilot reports that the proposal failed by an unofficial vote of 855-657.

Moral: Have a pop at the hotel or the beach house, which is probably a better idea anyway.
