Sunday Alcohol sale support gaining traction?
I can't believe we live in a state where you can't buy beer and wine on Sunday.

For the first time in several years, they think they have a good chance of succeeding.
The first step came Monday in the state Senate, where legislation was filed to allow local governments to ask voters if they want Sunday beer, wine and liquor sales at stores. A similar House bill is expected to follow later this week.
"Perhaps it has a greater chance of passing this year than ever before," said Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers, R-Woodstock, a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 10.
However, if the legislation passes, a fight is likely on the local level. It would be up to counties and municipalities to decide if and when to hold the vote.
Jerry Luquire, president of the Georgia Christian Coalition, said with Perdue gone, "there is no question" that the Sunday sales bill will pass this year. He said the coalition is already preparing a grass-roots effort to lobby local governments if the measure gets through the General Assembly.

A person can't go buy alchohol and drink at home... so instead they drive to a bar and drink. It makes no sense.
Hell, it even bit me in the butt one time! It was tailgate day at the Falcons game, and I couldn't go buy beer. So, I had to hit my liquor collection (okay, I am sure I didn't *have* to). Anyways, the 7&7 drinks went down like water. Needless to say, it snuck up on me! I feel asleep on Marta and woke up at the wrong station. Doraville instead of Peachtree-Dunwoody. That wouldn't have happened if I had been able to buy beer! Such a great argument to repeal the law, eh? Hahahaha.
best. reason. ever.
i just think it's dumb....even though i almost always have several bottles of wine in the house, DH can't even buy NON-alcoholic beer on sundays.
