Connecticut to allow liquor sales of Sundays
- Thread starter ScottySkis
- Start date

Even though I can't take advantage of this...I am happy for all the people that don't have to drive to Massachusetts on a Sunday because they forgot to stock up on Saturday. Sometimes you just didn't have enough money to buy double quantities of what you'd like!

My only reget about this beginning this weekend is that by the time I get off the Block Island Ferry tommorrow PM, I probably won't make it back into CT in time to buy a ceremonial 1st Sunday 6 pack! Guess the 4 - 5 cases on beer currently residing in my beer fridge at home will have to suffice tomorrow! :beer: :lol:

those laws are such a pain, they just drive local business elsewhere.

Drove by a liquor store on Friday with a sign out front that read "Now Open Sundays."
Almost shat myself in excitement. Yay!

We didn't make it to the packie yesterday, but we intended to... It was a stupid law, I'm glad CT did something right for once!
Have they changed the stupid 8PM cut off time law too?
I'm sure it's easy for a responsible person to plan ahead, but I'd be willing to bet that the 8PM cut off time results in numerous drunk driving fatalities each year.

Good CT.
Now we need MA to re-allow happy hour :lol:

Package stores can stay open until 9pm, though some still elect to close at 8pm. The newly instated Sunday hours are until 5pm.

No happy hour in Ma, that is messed up.

Not sure what laws are in other states, but Vermont doesn't allow happy hours either. The rational behind it is it speeds the consumption of alcohol. You can have drink specials in VT, but they have to be valid for all open hours of the day.

That's the system in most states that don't allow happy hours- the drink special has to be available all day long. Which is great at 11 am.

I dont really drink in Mass. but My buddy at the Mtn who ran the restaurant said they can do drink specials, but they must be for a entire week. And they can never give away any free alcohol.
Yeah in MA the norm is food specials during happy hour i.e. 10 cent wings or something
I feel really bad for you.
