Liquor sales should be allowed on Sundays

Written by Steve G Johnson

My wife and I were at the grocery store last Sunday doing some shopping and thought we would get some wine for my coming birthday. We completely forgot about the liquor law which bans selling of liquor on Sundays.

Let me be more specific. On Sundays in the state of Indiana you are banned from buying liquor from a grocery or liquor store. However, you can go to a restaurant and drink merrily while consuming your food. Then after consumption of alcohol these same people will then drive to their next location.

It seems dumb that you can go out dining and drink, but you cannot buy from a store and then drive home to drink. I recently read an article done by the Indianapolis Star and was interesting to see some responses. Half of the state thinks that the law should remain, 43% think it should be repealed, and 7% are undecided.

I cannot wrap my head around this idiotic law. This law should be repealed on the basis that if you want to drink you can drive to any restaurant selling liquor. So why are residents of Indiana banned from buying liquor in a store and taking it home to drink, which seems more logical to me then driving while intoxicated.

Currently I am researching where this is located in the Indiana law. I am by no means an alcoholic, but I do think that this law is ridiculous.
