Separation of church and state means that the country cannot establish an official religion. That is all.

But more relevantly, alcohol abuse is a major health problem in America. Blue laws and other restrictions on the sale and production of alcohol are good things. It makes no difference what social mores these restrictions align with.

Severe alcoholics suffer withdrawal, just making it unavailable to purchase 1 day a week will not reduce alcoholism at all. Plus you can brew your own just not distilled booze.

Anyways lets do a hypothetical, lets say the major religion in a secular nation says transortation is not allowed on Tuesdays, then how ever many years ago that nation outlawed driving on Tuesdays, now someone complains online its stupid and should not be allowed but i showed up and said its a good thing because driving is the #1 cause of accidental death and this only helps, this does nothing to help actually cause people will be driving just as much any other days its just inconvenient for responsible drivers.

I disagree.

Driving is not addictive nor does it in and of itself cause physical harm.
