To Drink, or Not to Drink.....


A poll on CT News Junkie shows Connecticut residents are overwhelmingly in favor of liquor stores opening their doors on Sunday. In March, legislators debated the issue, considering if Connecticut should allow liquor sales on Sundays.

Currently, Connecticut is the only state in New England that prohibits the sales of alcohol on Sunday. But why is it so important to have them open? Don’t liquor store owners deserve a day off and can’t we, as consumers, plan ahead enough to buy our alcoholic beverages in advance of Sunday.

Have we become a society so accustomed to getting everything the very moment we want it that the thought of waiting one day makes us want to rewrite state law?

Or do we just really like beer?
