Used to not be able to buy booze in this state before noon on Sunday. I remember as a wee lad going to the grocery store and seeing the beer displays covered with black plastic, and the grocer going about removing it at noon. Haven't seen it in decades; I'm sure it can't have outlasted the 60's.

"Sabbath" (Sunday) blue laws are ridiculous in a pluralistic society. Indeed in anything short of a theocracy. Although for 8 years there it looked like we were heading .... no, probably best not to go there.
