The "State Stores" as they're called in the vernacular actually go by the attention-getting name of "Wines & Spirits". Well, at least with a name like that, you know what you're getting. The one semi-sensible liquor law we have in this Commonwealth is that as of 9 February 2003, a select number (I believe it was originally around ten percent) of the state's stores may be open for business on Sunday. I have not been to one on a Sunday yet, mostly because as a financially-strapped college student, I don't have a car, and the closest one open on Sundays is about fifteen miles away. Supposedly, they're on a trial programme for the time being; if the Religious Right can be placated for a few years, they may open more.
Here's another screwed-up alcohol law we've got: six-packs may only be sold by bars--if you go to a legally licensed beer distributor, you can only buy by the case
