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

961 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 nothing says responsible governance like deciding that your 9am mimosa is a threat to society, but cracking open a beer at 2:59am is perfectly fine. Apparently, NY believes liquor before 10am turns you into a menace, but beer keeps you a law-abiding citizen around the clock. Makes sense.
