Sunday liquor sales

I just read a comment that stated: "the only extra revenue coming in from this bill, would be from the fines and court cost for the extra amount of DUIs" and I just can't stop laughing about how ignorant this person is. People are going to drink when they want to drink, regardless. The sernio right now is that people go to the bar, get wasted, and drive home. How is this, compared to people going to the package store, getting what they want and going HOME, to drink, AT HOME, going to increase the amount of DUI's given? If anything, the amount of DUI's will decrease seeing as you don't need to drink at a bar on Sunday! You can do it at home, and pass out on the couch ratehr than at the wheel.

odd that in a capitalist nation we see government getting out of the market (regulation) and allowing capitalism to go less bridled... and the capitalists are saying (or spec. those who oppose the redux in regulation) no, keep the regulation(s)... an odd paradox if you ask me...

Not allowing alcohol sales on Sunday is just an inconvenience. The state IS losing out on revenue. I work a 9 to 5 job, and very often, I don't have a chance to get to the liquor store until the weekend. It just so happens that about 75% of the time, I purchase beer on a Sunday. Of course, that's my revenue leaving the state and going straight into MA's pocket. And WHY does giving vendors the OPTION to sell alcohol on Sunday mean the small guy is going to go out of business? Furthermore, allowing sales is not the same as encouraging drinking. The question posed, for the record, was "Do you support this legislation?" - not "What are your general feelings about drinking, and how vehemently opposed are you?"

O.K. we're broke, just like every other state. Any extra revenue would be helpful. Furthermore, open up everything else too. I would like to go hunting on Sunday. All the hunters going to Rhode Island buying gas and breakfast could be spent here. Besides, just because I want to buy a beer or go hunting on Sunday doesn't mean you can't go to church. Where's the separation of church and state?!!

I believe the law should be revised to fit to modern times. I mean we can always drive to our neighboring state to buy liquor on Sundays. Why should other states profit from CT residents.
