Hey ladies, I need some help.

Same here, my 7-11 is more likely not to have cheese wiz than beer.

Connecticut.......No beer, wine or booze after 8:00 pm, no sales on Sundays or holidays either.  Luckily, I only live a few miles from RI...

No 7-11 stores at all.....gotta get yer slurpie fix somewhere else...

[TAB]

There is a store not to far from me...

they sell hard liquor, hard core( porn) and ammo.  Its been around forever.

Here in Arizona we just got rid of the stupid "No booze before 10:00 AM on Sunday" law. I've never understood the issue of when you buy booze. Wal-Mart here won't sell ammo before 8:00 AM either. I guess they want the booze to wear off first?     Bill T.

I moved here back in '82, it's always been that way.  The bar and restaurant owners lobbied the state and got the law passed because liquor store sales were cutting into their bottom line.  As best I can tell, it's always promoted "driving under the influence" in the state.  Connecticut has a three strike rule on DUI, one year mandatory for the third strike and it's a felony as well which I don't necessarily disagree with.

I place into the "dumb ass law" category...

Never understood state liquor laws,....

NC "very conveniently" changed it's blue laws on beer sales from 1:00 to 12:00 on Sunday, when the Carolina Panthers got to the NFL,
seemed tailgating revenue, outweighed saving souls...

yet in Baltimore, MD, you can get a 1/2 gallon of whatever Christmas morning at 6:00 a.m. from Abdul at the local liquor store.

Drive thru liquor stores here in Fl.

FL use to have drive thru strip clubs.  Think about that for a bit...

Old Religion inspired law.  Close the taverns and more folks show up at church....and since they aren't spending the money on booze, it can go into the collection basket.

Similar law was how the Ice Cream Sundae got it's name.

It was originally called the Sunday and was aimed at the after church crowd.  Churches noted that their collection take was reduced because folks were holding out a bit so the family could have a Sunday at the ice cream parlor together.

The solution was to get a law outlawing the sale of an ice cream treat named Sunday.  Non-separation of Church and State at work.

The ice cream parlors simply changed the name to circumvent the law.  

Seems the politicians realized they would likely end up with dozens of confections outlawed by name and didn't enact any further laws with that aim.

The thread has already been hijacked, so might as well sit back and enjoy the flight.....

There used to be a bar near here named the State Line Bar.

It straddled the Ohio/Indiana border and reportedly (I've never visited the place) had a line painted down the middle of the bar denoting the location of the state line.

Ohio law made serving or drinking alcohol illegal after 2:00 am.  

At just before 2am patrons of that bar simply walked a few feet to the other end of the bar and continued whatever they had been doing in Ohio.

A law was enacted outlawing establishments that served alcohol from straddling the state line.  I assume it was more aimed at tax revenue than stopping the drinker migration. Indiana has cheaper booze prices than Ohio.

I believe the 2AM law is still in effect.  

I figure someday I will open the North Pole Bar.  It will be in a circle surrounding the North Pole.   At any given time some seats will be in a legal drinking zone.   Maybe make the bar inside rotating to save the patrons the concern of checking their watches and picking the correct seat.

I find any law that makes an action illegal 60 seconds in the future or 6 inches distant suspect.
