Up the creek

For college students around the state of Georgia, Sunday has been a day that can be compared to being caught up the river without a paddle. I say this because in the state of Georgia it is illegal to purchase alcohol on Sundays.
Help might just be on the way for those of legal age who forgot what their scoutmasters told them, because the Georgia state legislature is currently discussing a bill that would lift the Sunday ban on the sell of alcohol. Currently alcohol sales are only permitted at locations where food is also served.
The main problem that I have with the Sunday ban on alcohol sales is that, it is based on religious beliefs. The United States constitution says that there should be a separation of church and state. So why is it okay, in southern states especially, to have laws such as the Sunday alcohol ban?
Some Georgians have shown that they are ready for a change in a recent poll in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, when 68 percent of the people polled were in support of the passing of the new bill. It is time for Georgia to move into the 21 century and stop enforcing the ideals of a single religion on to everyone else.
