Lift that Ban!

In the past, the federal government has not done too well with attempting to control alcohol, so what makes the state of Georgia think they can do a better job? The question is not about whether the state should ban alcohol on a religious day, but is instead why should the state have control? These questions bring about a need for change: the General Assembly should lift the ban on alcohol sales on Sunday.
The foremost reason to lift the ban is because there is no good reason to have it in the first place. The ban originated in the 1800s when many states were restricting what their citizens could do on Sundays. The reasoning was that Sunday is reserved to be the day of God. According to the decision of Everson v. Board of Education, the establishment clause of the First Amendment states that no federal or state government can “influence him [a person] to profess a belief in any religion.” While the ban is not a direct denial of the rights of the first amendment, it surely influences the practice of Sunday being the day of God.
Another reason to lift the ban is that since we can already purchase drinks of wine or beer at restaurants why are we not allowed to buy a bottle and drink it in the comforts of our own home.
Some people have proposed solutions of allowing the decision to be made by county or local governments. The entire problem could be solved simply by lifting the ban on purchasing alcohol on Sundays. Lift that ban!
