Stupid laws!

Retarded rules of the world: this is a new one on me. so I had a nice small wrap for dinner walked the town of nashville and walked back to my hotel. I stopped by starbux and picked up a frapachino. I walked into the hotel and wanted to sit in the lobby/bar area to enjoy a book and my drink. I was told by the bar tender that I had to leave because they would loose their liquor license if outside drinks are brought in. WTF?!?!? You have to be kidding me!
