Vote pass for Sunday sale of alcohol
On March 6, my county place a vote if they want to sell alcohol on Sunday. I found out that it pass and will take effect on June 3, 2012. I voted yes because a few reason. The first reason was that it's one of those religious law that should be push on in public. Second is that when I would drink 3 to 4 times a week and I was out of alcohol on Sunday, I would drive to a bar and drink there for 4 to 6 hours at a time and drive home drunk. I feel like the people who have problems would be more likely be on the street drive because they would have to go to a bar to get they alcohol fix. Lucky those days are behind me now.

Wow! At first when I read your post I was like "No way!! Shut em down on Sunday!!!" But you are so right! What would shutting down the source of supply really accomplish! It's our choice to buy it or not. To drink or not. Thank you for this post Actionpack it really got me thinking.

The law here has been Noon til midnight on Sundays as long as I can remember, but I did help vote-in alcohol sales into our formerly 'dry' area of the city... That was around eight years ago and just about all of the corner stores near me began selling beer overnight. In my situation I got worse and worse, but I didn't have to "Drive the Gauntlet" as I used to call it, the police would watch everyone on that road like vultures.
I can see your point of view on this and hope you can stay quit.

Keep up the good work
NOTE: Oh and professional drinkers had enough stock that we didn't need to go out on Sunday to supply. I could have supplied a bar :rotfxko
