        There’s a law (at least in California, maybe federal?) that sez you can’t be members’ only where alcohol and pharmaceuticals are concerned, so you should be able to get in for booze and antidepressants, even if they won’t let you get socks.

            Because you’re in no condition to drive.

          They won’t let you buy the food either though.

          You have to pay for it using your Costco credit card. There was this big thing where they had some Costcos where it was exposed to the outside and kids were going there and getting food and they said last year or the year before basically no more of that, no cash without membership card.

          Those laws are by state and county though and they apply to either liquor sales being open to all or pharmacy open to all or both or in some cases maybe neither.

          costco pharmacy is accessible to anyone in all states, looks like 14 states let you buy alcohol as a non member.
