Out of staters are ALWAYS confused when I use this term. "Can we stop at the package store?" They always assume I mean UPS or something.

After having moved to L.A. (which is like a whole 'nother culture), I asked my (Orange County native) boyfriend, "Wanna hit th'packie?""... the what?""Th'packie. We'll get some beah.""You can't call it that. People will think you're talking about a Pakistani."So consider yourselves forewarned. Outside of the 128 at least, "Packie," might be heard as, "Paki."

Packie = Beer Store is true at least out to the 495 loop. Oh, and if you need to go to one, the only place to go is your local Kappy's Liquers.. basically valhalla on earth for alkie college students such as i used to be.

I just moved to San Fran, and I asked what time the packies closed - my coworker told me that the airport will ship packages 24/7.

Also - what about brick? As in "I'm going to the packie and am gonna get a brick" (a case of 24 or 30 beers).
