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?

There will be a liquor store lobby pushing back on expansions of hours and such. They don’t see it as selling enough more to justify the extra costs.
And then pushing on the other side is usually the liquor producer lobby, who don’t care about the liquor stores’ costs and any increase in sales is good.
This usually balances out with slight consumer improvements from year to year.
