Guess the state has authority to dictate to the localities.
The specifics are that restaurants can serve on a case-by-case basis. No private sales, though, so you can’t go down to the liquor store or gas station and grab a cold one.
You can purchase and consume alcohol by the drink at restaurants on Sunday, you just can't buy it at a store... completely idiotic.
I’ve knocked back a bourbon or two on Sundays at the airport in Atlanta, so there must be local jurisdiction on this.
Local communites have the autority to allow the sale of “drinks by the glass” on Sundays. In most metropolitan areas in the state you can go into a restaurant or bar on Sunday and buy a bottle of beer or glass or scotch (and drink it there), but you can’t buy a six pack of beer of fifth of scotch and take it home.
Like I said, the Sunday sales ban doesn’t actually stop anyone from drinking. You learn to stock up ahead of time.
