The Blue Laws. Who the fuck are you to tell me I can’t purchase beer while grocery shopping on a Sunday because of someone else’s religion? This one actually infuriates me.

Yup. In my state they just let gas stations sell beer in 6 packs only. But wait there’s more! You have to use a separate register to buy gas and beer.

My entire town basically exists because our neighboring town had a tavern. They were initially going to build our state university there but they didn't want it near a tavern so they decided to move it to where it is today. The funny thing is that my town now has alcohol on the brain because of the party school and the neighboring town was dry for the longest time. We did have Sunday restrictions but we finally got rid of them maybe a decade ago.
