ELI5- Why are there times that alcohol cannot be purchased?

971 viewsOther

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?

It’s not just the US we have it in my country as well.

Like there is a sign on the restaurant door that says liquor can only be sold from 11:30am to 10:30pm or something along those lines.

Shops as well, in some city’s, alcohol cannot be sold on Sundays at a Supermarket so they have gates the close off that section. But restaurants can.

But it varies, they all have to provide free water though, most places filter there tap water so it’s generally OK.

But times are changing.
