Agreed, and I think itâs both an enabler of and sign of Americaâs âbeer culture.â
In many states, there are still âblue lawsâ in effect, meaning stores & restaurants wonât sell any alcohol at certain times; for NC, those times are between 2am-7am Monday-Saturday, and 2am-Noon on Sundays.  And in NC, if you want something harder than beer or wine, you still need to go to a specialty store.Â
But thatâs about the only limit I know of, and even thatâs getting challenged in some places. Â A recent bill was recently passed here in NC allowing counties to decide if their restaurants will serve alcohol on Sunday mornings, because some (white) people just gotta have mimosas with their Sunday brunch.
