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!
