Liquor Stores Can Open This Sunday May 20, 2003 11:37 pm US/Eastern 1010wins.com (1010 WINS) (ALBANY) The State Liquor Authority is telling wine and liquor store owners that they can be open Sundays starting this week, if they remain closed one other day each week. The SLA said it would be getting forms to the state's 2 thousand 484 wine and liquor store licensees that would allow them to do business on Sundays from noon to 9 pm. They have to designate another day they'd be closed. The state Legislature included six day a week liquor sales -- including Sundays -- in the budget they approved in late April, then restored it last week while overriding Governor George Pataki's veto. Like other "blue laws," the Sunday ban had its origins in more religious-oriented times when commerce on Sunday was thought to violate the sabbath. Proponents of the liquor sales provision said Sunday is potentially the second most lucrative day of the week for liquor sales after Saturday. They predict that letting stores open Sunday and close on a lower sales-volume day could generate up to $26 million dollars more for the state through higher taxes on liquor and wine starting in 2004. ========================== 12:00? Shit, is still looks like we won't be able to buy beer before 12 on Sunday, ridiculous.
