I was floored when I found out that you could buy booze in grocery stores when I moved to Madison years ago. Good job on the nemu nemu comic BTW.
Yeah, goes to show you how the “blue laws” work in this state. I used to be amazed at the fact that I couldn’t buy beer from the grocery store on a Sunday I think that’s carrying things a little too far.
I didn’t know about the “no beer on Sundays” law. That does seem a little odd. Someone once tried to explain to me that Minnesota beer has less concentrated alcohol, like it’s 3.2.1 beer or something. I never did understand it.
As for buying liquor in a grocery store, I have to admit, the law seems to be there more to support liquor stores than enforcing public safety. Its also weird how you can set up a liquor store in the same building, but it can’t have the same entrance.
We have to buy wine in state run stores in Pennsylvania. Yet every state around us you can pick it up at the super market or convenience store.
