I'm not even talking about the general weird US rule that strip clubs that sell alcohol can't be fully nude (I was trying to understand where that one came from, and the only thing that comes to mind is that Americans are afraid that drunk men who see fully nude women might lose control of themselves, or something along those lines).
Rather, I'm talking about the even stricter prohibition in NJ that strip clubs that sell alcohol can't be topless (let alone nude). NJ seems like a liberal, Northern state to me, unlike the conservative Southern ones. What's going on here?
OK, so there's some kind of liquor license issue in NJ, so why not just pay for the liquor license? Is it that expensive? If they were to just obtain the liquor license for a fee, no one would bother them, is that true? So why don't they do it?

last commentThere are no new liquor licenses in NJ (although that may change). Liquor licenses are only available when you buy them from someone going out of business. I used to work on the restaurant industry in NJ - saw liquor licenses go for $2MM on the secondary market.
I have no idea how that affects SCs, but it does make liquor laws really fucking weird.
We are a liberal eastern state, but we're also super old (for the US) and have a shit ton of weird legacy puritan law nonsense on the books that's super out of date.

So what happens if you want to open a new restaurant? You're not allowed to sell alcohol there unless some other restaurant goes out of business?
And the fact that NJ is an "old" state with old Puritan laws doesn't explain why those laws are still in effect. Why haven't they gotten repealed by now? Why is this craziness allowed to continue with no one objecting to it?

Not true in MA -- almost all are nude clubs with alcohol. Plenty of clubs in Ri also.
