I grew up in New Orleans. One of the grocery stores sold beer on the tap as you walked in 7 days a week...so perhaps I have a view shaped by where I grew up.

But why single out alcohol? if you allow other sales on Sunday, why not?

Selective blue laws never did make sense to me...either have a day off where commerce is not allowed so everybody gets a mandantory day off or allow it all.

"Selective blue laws never did make sense to me...either have a day off where commerce is not allowed so everybody gets a mandantory day off or allow it all."

Actually, that was more-or-less how it was in Texas until the 1980's.

Only food and medicine could be sold.

(Now, it's no car sales, no hard alcohol, and beer/wine after noon.)
