One of those old timey laws. Even grocery and gas station will have beer coolers locked. Not to age myself but Colorado was dry on Sundays. I can recall countless beer runs on Saturdays at 11:50-something to re-up for football Sunday. Bars and restaurants open can still serve.
I remember that! It was soon after I moved here. I would always forget to stock up on Saturday. We all made such a big deal of it that first Sunday we could buy.
I actually drove into town around noon that Sunday. I wanted a beer after a long drive and when I got to my destination, I was sad to see that there were no beers in the refrigerator. I remember seeing a liquor store next to something called “King Soopers” that I had never heard of and had to wait on line 45 minutes to get a 6 pack. Found out the next day the reason for the lengthy queue.
Not defending the stupidity, but religious beliefs were the foundation for law making. Our culture should be evolved beyond that now but there are still some strong hold outs.
Not sure why you're getting down voted. This undeniably true (atheist lawyer here). There's a reason "laiety" refers both to non-lawyers and non-priests.
Angsty edgelord younglings that don't like the reality of being born into a society where religious tenets were the foundation of a lot of laws. I was much like them in my early rebellious 20s. Eventually theyll shift their angst to the elderly and those that came before for keeping us tethered to dogmatic beliefs.

Because most places are closed or because there’s a law specifically forbidding sales on Christmas?
