    Can’t buy beer or wine at Walmart before noon on Sundays. But there’s totally a war on Christianity here lol.

      My entire county used to be dry on sundays,… but I live 2 min from the wv state line and they give no fucks if you Wana get hammered at 7am Sunday so it was pointless. Now we have Sunday sales after like 10 or so I believe, maybe earlier.

        Only the last year or so. We had a special thing on the ballot because Republicans were sure it wouldn’t pass. It did but still has that noon stipulation.

        And side rant here but I’m sick of local people acting like I’m an alcoholic for this bothering me. No, I don’t need to drink before noon. I do however schedule my grocery shopping for Sundays before noon as I am a mail carrier with Sunday being my only permanent day off. And I shop in the morning while everyone is at church to beat the crowds. Having to go back out hours later for only alcohol is bullshit.

          I don’t even drink and I think those laws are insanity

          I worked at a grocery store on the coast when I was in HS. The number of boat trips that the noon alcohol blue laws delayed is astonishing. Every Sunday there would be a line of people wanting to checkout with their alcohol. Something people would wait hours to check out

      Can’t buy beer or wine at all at Walmart in my state. Or any other grocery store, unless they have a restaurant.
