Just how pervasive are Beer runs?

Does Laredo have a monopoly on the notorious Beer Runs?  Ok, maybe not, since I know a fellow blogger had a recent post about some beer run in the Valley. Still, I was wondering if it's strictly a South Texas thing or what. Since I was curious, I decided to  "google" beer runs and the only that came up was references to making a beer run, as in running out to to buy beer. So it appears that they are not everywhere (yet). Don't be surprised if a conglomerate moves in and starts a regional chain.

True to form, it always seems that Laredo gets noticed for all the wrong things so I'm sort of surprised that we haven't had an expose' about beer runs on Anderson Cooper or something. I guess he's still busy recovering from the assault he received while he was in Egypt. Well anyway, just to satisfy my cultural curiosity, if anyone out there knows just how prevalent these decadent drive-thrus are, feel free to let the rest of us know. We should make a documentary of Beer Runs and have it air on nation-wide Television.  Maybe Key Rose can do his one of his live-blog broadcasts. Something tells me that he'd have some pretty good ratings.
