Should alcohol be sold on Sundays?

My town does not allow alcohol to be sold on Sundays. Restaurants, grocery stores and alcohol stores are disallowed alchohol sales from 1 AM on Saturday night until Monday morning. I am unsure of the reason, but imagine that it is due to Sunday being the sabbath day. Strangely, it is not all towns in my state...so it isn't a state law. Larger towns in my state do allow alcohol sales on Sundays. Does your town do this? What are your feelings about this?

I've heard of those kind of towns before. They call them dry towns.
Mostly in the bible belt I believe where the people are really into church. Southern Baptist. I suppose they just dont want no drunks on Sunday to contend with.

I live in Va. and on sundays they are open in limited areas. Whereas in Alabama where i'm from they don't sell it on Sundays. I believe it should be sold anyday. The only thing that happens is the person would just go on Sat. So what's the point

This rule is in effect in my entire *state* of Western Australia. Its a pain in the neck when you want to go get a drink and they are all closed, but you can always go to a pub.

I do not think it's normal. it should be sold in any day of the week and in any hour. Of course there should be restriction by age.
