The laws against alcohol on Sunday are a survival from the days when everything was closed on Sunday. At least that made sense, from a religious perspective: The Bible says you take a day of rest, so businesses should be closed.

Eventually the Sunday-rest concept faded, but anti-alcohol sentiment was strong, so "No alcohol sales on Sunday" is a hybrid of Sabbath-keeping and Prohibition.

I've lived a couple of places where alcohol wasn't sold from midnight to noon Sunday. I'm not sure what the expected outcome of that is! They can't really think many people are going to get up on a Sunday morning and make a decision between going to church or buying booze!

My daughter and son-in-law's jaws dropped open in Breaux Bridge, La this spring when they saw the big barrel of iced single beers for sale at the Seven Eleven and the drive thru mixed drink stores. The only law that I can recall being on the books for alcohol sales is the one that every bar has to close for one hour in twenty-four.

People are too uptight about others drinking. We'd be better off if we let anyone of age buy alcohol at any time on any day.

I agree. These laws don't make any sense.
