What is the silliest law that is still enforced where you live? Why do you think it still exists? (lemmy.world)

You can buy alcohol on Sunday??

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
