Can soemone elaborate on how the strange anomaly of being able to
purchase beer on Sunday's as opposed to wine and spirits.DUIs derive
mainly from beer drinkers, uyet when you go to a gas station, beer is
very much in vogue when paying the bill. i.e., on the shelves or in
fridges. Yesterday I measured twenty-six feet in shelving, devoted to
the selling of beer at such a venue.
Wine of course is the most innocent of the beverages yet is constantly
linked to beer and spirit sales.
How did this all come about?
Where can I research further this 'blue law' if that what it is.
I am aware that all three spirits can be bought on a Sunday in a
restaurant. Howver, Kentucky, and Tennessee forbids the sale of spirits
or wine on a Sunday, but not beer. Virginia and New York permits all
three.
I am not asking for a debate on the issue, just useful tips on how best
I can present this paper to the university..titled: Alcohol selling..on
a Sunday.
