Sunday Beer Sales

from WSTM:

"ALBANY, N.Y. New Yorkers won't have to wait until noon to buy beer anymore.

Starting today, a new law goes into effect that lets stores sell beer starting at 8 o-clock on Sunday mornings instead of having to wait until noon.Governor Pataki signed the law Thursday.The old rule was part of the blue laws that were originally designed to restrict certain activities on Sunday to appease the church. Lawmakers say the new law will make it easier on those who are traveling or just prefer to shop early."
