I know the feeling, Here in Ga you cant buy beer on a Sunday either but you can get it in Florida anytime you want. There are still alot of counties here in rural Ga where you can buy beer but its illegal to get a drink in a restaurant. My own county does not allow liquor stores, I gotta drive across the river to get to a liquor store. It sucks. The point is that the Church folks make the county and city commissioners walk the line.

I moved to Middle Georgia after Katrina made me decide to leave the New Orleans area. I was shocked they still had blue laws on the books about buying alcohol on Sundays. We even have a Hooters here, where you go to watch football on Sundays IF THEY WOULD LIFT THE BLUE LAWS!

I really dont understand what good reason there is to have these laws. I am Catholic and I can assure you the Catholic church I grew up in had no such problem with responsible alcohol use.

Any of you who ever went to a Catholic parish fair in New Orleans probably tipped a beer with the priests on Sunday watching the kids do their stuff on stage or the bands that played! Man I had some good times at church fairs!
