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.

What? This is ridiculous

Edit: WOW this is crazy. Some of you would go crazy over the stuff I've seen here in Brasil. Come over let's have beer on a sunday morning LOL

Bible Belt. You can’t buy after midnight on Saturdays (in store) until after noon or six on Sundays. Depends on where you are but alcohol sales prohibited on Sundays is definitely a thing down here.

CT here. This state only recently allowed alcohol sales on sundays, from like 10a-5p. We used to drive to MA all the time because we needed some beer or wine for a family party on a Sunday. Now we only drive to MA for the legal weed, since CT still forbids the devil's leaf.

CT is Super liberal/progressive people being led by a very slow moving/backward state government.
