What "Blue Laws" are in effect where you live ?

Nothing to do with "blue laws" here.
I don't know what they are, but I get the gist.

We can't buy alcohol before 08.30 or after 23.00 in shops.
In bars it depends on their license.

Sundae, until I googled them, I thought they came from England with the colonists.
But I guess they actually started in the Connecticut Colony,
as laws passed to enforce local religious beliefs.

In Virginia, the state runs the liquor stores, but you can get beer and wine at the grocery store. Talk here too about privatizing the liquor stores, but the state makes good money there, so it's a dumb idea if you ask me.

You want messed up laws, go to Pennsylvania. I'll let someone who lives there describe it, but it's messed up.
