"blue laws" pertaining to alcohol are hypocritical, misguided, and an excuse for meddlesome bureaucrats to intrude where they don't belong

Is there any point, at all, where the actions of the person who imbibed are anyone else's business, or would that be only if s/he did something that involved/harmed another PERSON?

It would not be the business of government.

or would that be only if s/he did something that involved/harmed another PERSON?

"Involvement/Harm" is not the standard. If a person's rights have been violated by another, it becomes government's legitimate business. Not unless or until.

You mean on Sunday, as opposed to any other day? ;)
