Connecticut is the worst I've seen - "package stores" are open from 8 am to 8 pm Monday - Saturday.
After 8 pm, and all day Sunday, you are SOL unless you go to a bar or restaurant.
It took almost three years after moving away before I stopped reflexively checking the fridge at about 7:30!

I am the only one here that remembers "Blue Laws"? Almost everything was closed on Sundays. Bars, stores, gas stations.....it really wasn't such a bad thing, either.
Especially for the acquisition of autocross venues....
I'm shocked at this craziness of illegal alcohol sales on Sunday. Flabbergasted, even. Perhaps that explains Lewis Black when he was here, (Wisconsin) and was wondering if we had a federal subsidy for alcohol. "You are not alcoholics. You are, and my hat is off, professionals!"

Don't blame me. I voted Libertarian.

When I grew up in Ohio, the blue laws forbade the sale of milk, but permitted the sale of 3.2 beer.
I didn't even know 3.2 beer existed until I recently spent 8 weeks in Oklahoma. Guess who didn't stop in Texas on the way in to get real beer?
This gentleman had not run out, he was waiting in the airport to leave the country for our honeymoon in Nassau.
I have plenty of libations for once we return to Tulsa. After a wonderful three hour layover.
We have the dumb 3.2 beer in gas stations/grocery stores, have to go to the liquor store for real beer and wine they are open from 10-9 Mon-Sat. And then they don't sell it cold. But I can go to a restaurant or bar and get hammered on a Sunday, makes no sense.
