Re: Culture shock in a single country

[(Anonymous)]

Until about 20 years ago, you could only buy alcohol in West Virginia (in the Mid-Atlantic region) at the ABC store and I think it's still illegal to sell it on Sundays. I don't drink, and neither do any of my friends, so don't know if the bars can open on Sundays. But when I worked at Wal-Mart, Saturdays were huge buying days for alcohol because everyone had to have enough to get them through to Monday, and drinking is a past-time here.

For me, culture shock was finding out that some states still have Blue Laws. When we went on vacation to South Caroline back in 2002, nothing there was open before 1 pm (or maybe it was 2 pm?). And when we asked someone about it, she quite frankly told us, "Your asses should be in church, not out shopping!". I lol'd.

My state is a liberal, yet we still have "blue laws" for alcohol. All alcohol shops can't open on Sundays. I mean, you can get a beer at a restaurant or bar, of course, but you can't go out an buy a case.

You say that like that's not something that's actually occurred to us. lol

It's not really about liberal/conservative views on alcohol itself anymore. It's about liquor stores lobbying to keep sales on Sunday illegal so that they can all stay closed on Sunday without worrying about competition.
