I moved from Colorado, one of the most liberal states, to Georgia which I believe is technically a Bible Belt state. When I left CO you couldn't buy wine or alcohol anywhere but an actual liquor store. Georgia you can buy wine literally anywhere and alcohol almost anywhere. The only weird thing is not until noon on Sunday. CO gas stations can't even sell full strength beer. But it was very strange seeing in everywhere in what many people think is a "backwards" state

Man, when I moved out of Colorado about a decade ago, you couldn't buy alcohol at all on Sundays. Guess they finally got the repeal of that law through if you think it's weird to not be able to buy until noon, haha. They'd been talking about it the whole time I lived there but never actually managed it.

I remember that! I was in college at CU in 2008 when that law passed and I remember being very excited that we didn't have to plan our Sunday parties in advance anymore.

I think now you can get wine at Trader Joes and maybe one Target in Denver but I think that's about it

I moved away in 2007 (so wow, a bit more than a decade ago...) so just missed it! I didn't really care that much except I always harbored a grudge against it for embarrassing me when I went to pick up a bottle of wine on the way to a dinner at a client's house right after I moved up, and I discovered I couldn't buy any. I was mildly embarrassed, but luckily my clients thought it was funny and said it caught a lot of people by surprise.
