>In the US a lot of places used to have so-called "Blue Laws"

Used to? Hell, in Texas, you cannot buy alcohol until after noon on Sundays. Still. Today, er, yesterday, but you get the point.

Not just that, but you can only buy beer and wine on Sundays, and only at places like grocery stores.

Liquor stores (which also sell beer/wine) are not allowed to be open on Sunday, period.

Note this pertains to off-premise (i.e., stores, not bars) only. Bars, you're free to get sloshed to your hearts desire on any type of alcohol and as early as 10AM on Sundays.

This used to be the case in New York too, but those laws were repealed in 2008. It seems there's been a trend since around then for municipalities to slowly repeal alcohol blue laws as a few other places followed suit over the next few years.

Unless you're in a state determined to make a real-life Gilead where the laws are getting more restrictive than less. I present to you as an example the same Texas from earlier.

Fun fact this is also true about Chicago except it's 11am.
