Due to all the snow we had this winter, our state interscholastic sports governing body allowed games to be played on Sundays after 12:30 p.m. This was a big deal around these parts. We still can't buy alcohol at a liquor store on a Sunday.

😠 Do they still close at 8:00pm? Used to drive me crazy when I was a teenager. Moved to Fla. and it's the complete opposite...beer is available pretty much everywhere 24/7.

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.

Really? That's intriguing. What's so sacred about Wednesdays?

Years ago many churches had 'prayer meeting night' on Wednesday. No school events were scheduled on that evening. Mostly gone now.

Alcohol sales by state.

For Virginia, any "on-premises" establishment that sells liquor is required by law to sell food.

Federal installations aren't restricted by the "off-premises" requirements so I can drive on the Army base next to my house 24/7 and buy any type of bottled/canned alcohol I desire.

I remember when I was a kid back on the South Side of Chicago, there was a 24 hour drive-thru liquor store near my house! Years later, when I lived briefly in Vegas before coming to Portland, I mentioned it to someone and they replied, "Yeah - so what's your point?"

I lived in Vegas for 5 years. Strip clubs and bars are open 24/7 selling liquor.

Most grocery stores still are not 24/7 operations. I remeber a few years back my last game of the day during a Boys' AAU National Basketball Championship Tournament in Cocoa Beach, was an 08:30pm start. By the time the game was over and we had changed it was 10:30. I decided to stop at one of the chain grocery stores (Winn Dixie to be exact) to get some food on my way back to my hotel room. I walked into the store at about 10:55pm and started shopping. I soon discovered that I was being followed by one of the bagger/stock boys. I asked him if I could "help" him and he told me that the store closes at 11:00pm. I expressed my shock and told him that I would make my purchases right then. As I was going through the checkout I told the clerk and bag boy that grocerey stores in the "hick" state of Ohio are open 24/7,, to which the bag boy replied: "When would we sleeip if we were open all day." 😮

My sister and mother live in Lake Mary, and the Winn Dixie nearest my sister's home still is not open 24/7.

They're pretty much all 24/7 here, but walk in after 11 and you're likely to be tripping over and dodging the overnight stockers.

Grocery stores here close at 10 or 11.
