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

983 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?

Because of tavern leagues lobbying for it, so that you have to go to the bar instead of drinking at home
