All my friends who live in other places used to laugh at me because I couldn't buy liquor on Sundays. But now that's all changed!

Sunday liquor sales passed

Thursday, November 20, 2003

Massachusetts residents won't have to live near the state line to buy alcohol on Sunday under a plan lawmakers approved last night.

Tucked in a $100 million economic stimulus package - along with tax credits for businesses and a one-day ``sales-tax holiday'' set for Aug. 14 - is a provision allowing year-round, statewide Sunday liquor sales at package and grocery stores.

The move, which upends a long-standing tradition of banning booze sales on the Sabbath, would allow towns to opt out of the idea. Store owners would also have the option. [bostonherald.com]

Now I can go NYAH NYAH at my parents down in CT. Even if I can't really drink right now.
