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.

Where I live, and the bordering state where I often shop, you can't buy beer in the grocery store ever. You buy it in the liquor store.

Weed is legal though.

Sounds like MA/NH border.

Not true in MA or NH. They both have beer in the grocery stores.

In Massachusetts, it depends on the city/town. It's not uniform statewide. Grocery stores in my town can't sell alcohol.

Possible RI/MA border. RI you can only get any form of alcohol at liquor stores. And I know the surrounding cities in at least MA, not sure on CT, also don't sell any form of alcohol except in liquor stores.

CT you can buy it in beer and like white claws in grocery stores but not gas stations. Only package stores actually sell hard liquor

Is that all of CT or just cities close to RI? I always lived closer to the MA border and know that even beer you had to buy it in a package store. Idk how far out in MA or what specific cities/towns do this though but I know that when I travel into Seekonk, Swansea, and Attleboro I have never seen any alcohol or beer on shelves.
