I live in New York State and recently our governor changed the liquor purchase time from 8a-8p to 10a-10p. You can buy beer from convenience stores at 8am-3am on Sundays like every other day but liquor is different. My question is why? Why is there a cutoff time?

I live in Missouri. For many years they did not allow Sunday beer sales. Then they decided that stores could sell “Sunday” beer, which was 3.2% alcohol, as opposed to the liquor store beer, which was 5.0%. They had to have a separate cooler and separate cash register for Sunday beer. At this point they just shut alcohol sales down from 1:30am until 6am. This is kind of a holdover from the “Blue Laws” which limited sales of anything that was considered “work” on Sunday.
