Colorado - the 21st Century Challenge

Time till Drunken Sundays: *25*

 

For years, Colorado's been a dry state on Sundays. Now I'm not one to say that drinking equals modernity, but as far as I know, most states in the union allow drinking on Sunday (with the exception of Utah, which doesn't allow dresses higher than the floor either). There's currently a bill being reviewed by the governor which will decide whether Coloradoans are smart enough to handle the pressures of drinking on the Christian Sabbath.

Good News Everybody!

They’re repealing the law!

See my count ticker above!

According to a Denver Business Journal article, the bill has already passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, Legislators so revered that Christopher Hitchens once referred to their inclusion with the comment “I think we’ve just entered the reign of piety and iron.”

Well, he didn’t really say that about them, I just found that quote on the Internets.

Why Can't You Buy Liquor on Sundays?

This is what’s commonly referred to as a Blue Law, a law that was passed in ancient times to keep the cavemen from getting too drunk and pulling their women around by the hair.
Because it’s gone the way of the dinosaur and Ringo Starr’s career, many legislators feel that it’s time to revoke the ability of people to buy 3.2 beer, a travesty that makes the inventor of beer cry.

 

The Arguments Against Repealing the Law

Meanwhile, many people have argued against repealing the law, claiming that removing the ability to sell 3.2 beer will cut into the profits of the supermarket chains and the convenience stores, who are so close to going under that even if you quit buying condoms they’ll all have to close.

So remember that every penny you use in grocery stores helps them stay afloat, since they are really hurting.

Parody – this does not apply to mom n pop stores.
