Woo-hoo! At last, we in CT can buy alcohol on Sundays! [View all]

We have left Indiana, the only other state in the U.S. where Sunday alcohol sales are prohibited!

For all these years this was pure protectionism for the benefit of the liquor stores who didn't want to have to bear the cost of opening their stores on Sunday. You couldn't even buy beer in supermarkets on Sundays (beer sections were covered with heavy plastic curtains) and you still can't buy wine in supermarkets. Go figure that.

We can thank our new Dem governor, Dan Malloy, for working this thing thru. The shameless liquor store lobby "compromised" by removing any restriction on pricing, screwing the consumers, something Malloy deeply opposed. That issue will be "studied" and brought back next year.

I'll raise a glass of Pinot Noir in celebration!
