Blue Laws Suck!

With all my running around yesterday it seems I passed a deadline I did not know existed.

I wanted to pick up a couple of jugs of this Whisky Beer. Not too sure about what is in this stuff but it has 20% alcohol and tastes pretty smooth.

The problem is its served from a tap. They are trying to figure out how to bottle it but it goes flat after a week. From what I have been told.

So they sell this stuff by the bottle, actually, a large moonshine looking jug. It will keep for a week, like it would last that long in my house anyway.

So After all my running around I mention to my brother, who I am visiting in Lexington, that I want to pick up a couple of bottles before we turn in for the evening. Its 10:00 on a Saturday night.

He then tells me they cannot sell it after 8:00 at night. So I say fine, we will just head over and get some on Sunday afternoon before I head out. Thinking if the laws are like Florida you cannot buy booze until after 12 noon.

Nope, no alcohol sales on Sunday, period. Well except for restruants.

For what ever reason they cannot sell this stuff after 8 PM on a normal night and I am unsure why. I gues becasue it it dispensed for the sale.

I was having some friends over for a F-1 race once and went to the grocery store to pick up some beer and forgot you cannot buy until after 12 noon on Sunday.

Does anyone else think these Blue Laws are a joke?

I cannot understand what they are supposed to accomplish. All it does it force you to plan ahead for your Sunday morning drinking.
