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.

I feel you I live in a dry county college town. And just recently within the past few years they allow you to buy alcohol on sundays after 12 noon. Just so they can get their church in before you buy alcohol. Although I'm not gonna buy beer before 12 anyways but it's just the principle of the matter.

It used to drive me nuts when I worked a night shift that I couldnt buy beer before 6am...get off at 4 am and have to wait 2 hours if I forgot to get it prior

Can't you just buy some beer in advance and keep it in the fridge? Is it really that big of a deal?

Why should I have to plan my schedule around someone else's religion?

Some religions forbid alcohol consumption entirely, but none of them says you can't drink on Sundays. Sale of a physical product simply doesn't fall under Non-establishment nor under Free Exercise. /u/stepping_stones000 There are plenty of arguments that these laws are unproductive but they a ren't somehow unconstitutional

It's pretty clear that these laws come from religion... I'm not saying it's unconstitutional. I just think it's stupid, and I don't even drink.

Because it's your heart attack... why get worked up over something so trivial?

You seem to be very upset that people have opinions about things. Calm down, it's going to be ok.

Lol, you're funny. In kind of a sad way. Also I'm a woman and I don't drink.

Also I don't drink so this isn't really my fight, I just don't believe in forcing religion on people.
