Currently, Connecticut allows the sale of alcohol for consumption off premises to be between Monday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Since the inception of the Liquor Control Act, the deadline for sales has changed several times, from 6:00 p.m. in 1933, to 11:00 p.m. in 1939, to 9:00 p.m. in 1957, to 8:00 p.m. in 1967, and back to 9:00 p.m. in 2003.

Many Mom and Pop stores still close at 8:00 p.m. because they don't want to pay staff for the extra hour.
