2. That is a SOLID rule - HOWEVER!
At all times, in half of the world it is after noon!

4. Nope. That's a weekday rule.
Doesn't apply to Saturday and Sunday.

6. Nahhhh!
Used to live by that rule in Florida...no booze to be bought at all on Sunday..only beer and wine.

Now I am in NOLA and we drink all hours of every day and night...GO!

10. I think it varies by county.
But I just got back from the whiskey store. Had to replenish my scotch supply. They open at 1:00 on Sundays.

12. Ah, God's Waiting Room.
I'm north of there. I'm not sure I've ever been there on a Sunday. For all I know, they're still closed on Sunday.

:hi:

13. Here, alcoholic beverages can't be sold before noon on Sunday.
It's 7 am the other days. I never understood why Sunday should be any different. I guess the fundies here want to go to church and be perfect "Sunday Christians" before splurging on their booze.
