I assume it's a hospital bracelet since they issued tickets for drinks, rather than bracelets. They keep all the drinkers penned up in a "beer garden" -- which is just a glorified term for what's generally referred to as a "segregation unit" in the correctional system. Paducah, KY is very much in Bible Belt. It's only been a couple of years since they started allowing sales of alcohol on Sundays -- and even then, it's limited to by-the-drink sales in restaurants with a certain minimum seating capacity. And that wouldn't have happened if the town hadn't made a big display of trying to attract an arts community in order to facilitate a "lower-town renaissance" -- and the arts community does like a sip of wine after Sunday brunch. ;-)
That's funny, because my mom's family is from Fredonia, KY, which is still dry and Paducah was where they all went to go drinking.
