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?

Those are called Blue Laws, or state morality laws such as, “It’s late you should be in bed,” or, “It’s Sunday, you should be in church.” If I remember correctly, there are even certain places in the US where it is against the rules to sell beer if it is COLD. So, instead of a beer cooler or, “beer cave,” beer is sold like it is on the soda pop aisle or cereal. I can tell you from experience: Somebody who is very interested in drinking beer (alcoholic), ain’t gonna give two you-know-whats if the beer is cold or not. Furthermore, a professional alcoholic has a stash and never runs out/thinks ahead…and has learned the HARD WAY about running out of booze during the hours in which it is not for sale.
