On the Seventh Day, a New Retail Option

For the first time since Prohibition, liquor stores in New York were allowed to open for business on a Sunday. For generations, states across the nation banned the sale of liquor on Sundays with so-called Blue Laws, stubborn reminders of a time when demon drink was considered a scourge, the chief cause of society's ills. Even as the temperance movement passed into the history books the laws remained, and they might have remained in place still if hard-pressed state governments did not believe that allowing people to buy liquor on Sunday would send money pouring into state coffers.
