I noticed at the Stop & Shop that all the beer & wine cooler cases had covers pulled down over them. Suspicious, I looked up Connecticut alcohol sale laws on my phone. Sure enough, it’s illegal here to sell alcohol after 6pm on Sundays.
Because Puritans.
I was informed by a dear friend who grew up in New England that prohibitions on what can and can’t be done on Sundays are called “blue laws” (apocryphally because they were first printed on blue paper.) Apparently, the ones in Connecticut may have started as an Anglican priest’s hoax.
Who knew? Boy meets world. Or, technically, boy meets New England.
