Yesterday I had family visit and I thought it would be nice to open a good bottle of wine to go with our various cheeses. After a quick check I realized we didn’t have any reds that would go well and then I asked the question that most Minnesotan adults living near the border have asked themselves at some point in time, “Should I drive to Wisconsin?”
I opted against the drive,mainly because Wisconsin sucks(especially their sports teams and fans), but we would have had a nice glass of vino had I the option to go to my local liquor store.
Time addresses Blue Laws with this story Will the Recession Doom the Last Sunday Blue Laws? and mentions Minnesota as one of four states that could benefit.
I’ve long said that with all of the ’sin’ taxes on alcohol tossing back a few sudsy brews or a glass of the vine is not only relaxing, it’s downright patriotic.
We all want this recession to end, can ending Blue Laws help speed along the good times?

Hey, let’s leave my home state alone! You guys are all just bitter because you can’t drink as much as you would like on Sundays if you don’t plan well. :)
“It’s too late for liquor but we can always get some 3.2″
Emily – Ha! Sometimes it seems like there are more Wi. people living in the T.C. than people born in Mn.
Moe – I dislike the music of Lifter Puller even more than Wi. ;-)
Yeah! Nothing is worse that Wisconsin Sports Team Fans!
On topic, ending prohibition of any sort can only help the economy as far as I see it.
Does an expansion in liquor store hours on non-Sundays come with it? That would be nice.
Brian – I like where your head’s at.
Erica – I think liquor store hours are also mandated by the city. I think Mn law allows them to stay open until 12pm, it’s just most cities view that as a serious threat to society and puppies.
