What are the restrictions on having beer (or other types of liquor) in theaters? And I'm talking about good movie theaters, not some run down place that shows the Rocky Horror Picture Show. And not a megaplex that serves only 5 types of watered down daiquiris.

A friend and I were drunk and brainstorming the other night, and we realized that it would be a damn cash cow. Open a small theater with maybe 5 or 6 screens showing new releases with comfortable seating (couches and such)... beer, liquor, non-crunchy food. A place where the lobby is more like a bar.

It seems that that these big theaters would serve beer if they could, so there must be some sort of law?
