Beer on Sundays: Why not?

In 1617 the state of Virginia enacted America’s first “Blue Law”. This act required all citizens to attend church. Now we stand almost 400 years later and still many states have these “Blue Laws”. States such as Texas have a ban on selling cars on Sunday, while others like Georgia and South Carolina have bans on the sale of alcohol. These laws are far outdated and in New York and Connecticut courts have declared these laws unconstitutional.
With Sunday now being the second busiest shopping day of the week it doesn’t seem to make sense to keep up these bans. Secondly the states that do have alcohol sales on Sunday report increased revenue without having increases in drunk driving and underage drinking according to the Toronto News.
Many people wish to see these bans removed so that they can enjoy alcohol on Sundays without having to stock up the night before. With many major sporting events taking place on Sundays such as the NFL and NASCAR, both of which have major beer companies as sponsors, many fans would like to have a drink, but they can’t. Atlanta Falcons fan Jimmy McGuigan says, “I like to have a beer while I watch the Falcons, but I don’t always remember to buy it the day before. It would just be easier for everyone if they lifted the ban.”
The main question we need to ask is why doesn’t the federal government take control of this law? Thus making it either legal or illegal to buy in every state, this way there is some order to this outdated law.
