Six Flags Over Texas has won their 15 month fight to sell alcohol at their park.
Beer sales start on Saturday and liquor sales will be allowed at private functions. Anyone caught with alcohol outside of the designated watering holes will be kicked to the curb [and one can assume without their drink].

ice
cocktail glass
Directions:
