lmao, I didn’t even know what that was until I was in the military. We got a weekend pass in training and we were running low on alcohol and someone said, it’s 11pm we need to hit the store before midnight or we won’t have anything to drink tomorrow. I’m like wtf lol.
Then when I got to my first duty station which I didn’t know had blue laws, me and a buddy drove 20 miles to a small town and planned to bbq at the park and have a few drinks. We pick up all the food and had to the cooler section and it’s chained shut lmao. Like a couple of idiots we went up front and told them the beer was chained and asked if they could unlock it. They just started laughing and said it’s sunday, even if we unlocked it we couldn’t sell it to you without getting in trouble.
My buddy should’ve known he’d been there for a year, we could’ve just picked the beer up on base before heading out but somehow even after dating a girl from the area and her mom working at a bar and it was always closed sundays he never figured it out.
Once we literally took a road trip to New York to get alcohol. My one family member had a schooner and one time we literally sailed to Canada. We didn't need to. He owned a night club. But we could. So we did.
lmao. I wonder how many places still have blue laws.
Ours relaxed a lot because big grocery stores wanted a slice of the pie. Before the current governor was instilled, the previous one made a big deal about letting beer and wine be sold in grocery stores and all alcohol be allowed to be sold on Sundays, but with more restrictions than weekdays. Can't sell early Sunday, still have to buy hard liquor at the state run stores, can only buy so much at grocery stores and the prices are higher. But distributors can sell smaller packages instead of an entire case, so they can get impulse buyers to try other products, it's less expensive.
