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

811 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?

The cutoff time for liquor sales often reflects historical regulations aimed at moderating alcohol consumption and promoting public safety. Different rules for beer and liquor arise from longstanding state laws and the varying social impacts of each type of alcohol.
