First you see it, now you don't


"Attention shoppers: State law requires that all beer must be purchased and have left the store by eight o'clock."

Anytime you go into a supermarket here in Connecticut around 7:30 pm, you're bound to hear these words or something similar. Only beer is sold in supermarkets, wine and liquor in liquor or package stores. No alcohol can be purchased after 8:00 pm Monday through Saturday and all day Sunday. When I was a child no shopping was allowed on Sundays except for food essentials. At least that's changed. I guess we're progressing from the days of Puritanical law. But they've even changed beyond what they've created.
