Mind you -- rare was the Sunday morning where anyone in the house just *had* to have alcohol stat -- but there was the occasional shopping trip that might have started before noon with beer on the list that simply couldn't be bought in the past.
Now the local government has decided to lift the ban -- one of the last "blue laws" in the state apparently -- many many years after having already permitted restaurants and hotels to do what they'd like for the brunch crowds.
There's still a statewide battle brewing over whether those same grocery stores can start selling the hard stuff in the aisles (currently, they have to have a separate storefront to sell things other than beer and mixes). More about that after we see how it plays out ...
Those times I was told at the Publix that I couldn't take home Guinness on Sunday mornings at 10am ... you will NOT be missed!
