if you really haggle a dude about a six pack at 4am and youre not drunk he'll sell it to you

the ' i work nights ' exscuse works best

 

[killahoe666]

here in new mexico, they stop selling beer and liquor at midnight...don't sell on holidays, but they do sell on sundays...and yeah washington doesn't open the liquor stores for sundays

edit: they stop selling beer n' liquor at stores and gas stations at midnight...but u can still hit up a bar of club to get one until 2am

actually they do sell liquor on holidays only one day a year where they don't sell and that's christmas day I remember paying like $30 for a 12'er one year cuz I spaced to load up..........

when I was younger they didn't sell on sundays but they do now except for in Gallup which is a Navajo town and one of the worst places for DUI's

Denver sux with that shit they only sell on Sundays unless your at a bar

 

[MeloTrauma]

My cousin lives in a "dry county" in Colorado. There aint no drank sold there at all. If he wants alcohol he's gotta take a 20 minute drive into the next county.

On a side note: I went to go buy a 40 not to long ago from 7 Eleven in Dublin, CA and the dude didn't sell it to me because it was 12:30 AM. In Cali your supposed to be able to buy until 2AM. The dude said it was a city law and 2 AM didnt apply because the city law overrides the 2am standard... anybody know about this?

 

[2-0-Sixx]

They don't in Washington.

The reason is because Liquor sales are controlled by the state which maintains a monopoly on the sale of alcohol and since government workers don't work on Sundays or holidays, they don't sell it. Also, liquor stores close anywhere between 6PM to 9PM, depending on the store location. Liquor can only be sold at liquor stores, not supermarkets like Safeway or 711, etc.

Sunday liquor sales thrive
By Susan Gilmore

Seattle Times staff reporter


When the state decided two years ago to allow liquor stores to operate on Sundays, it expected the state would collect an extra $9.55 million for the biennium.

Instead, Sunday sales have exceeded projections by nearly 60 percent and now the State Liquor Control Board expects $15.1 million will be collected on Sundays during the current biennium, which ends June 30.

Sunday liquor sales began in July 2005 in 35 contract liquor stores and in September 2005 in 20 state-owned liquor stores.

The Legislature voted this year to more than double the number of state-owned stores that can sell liquor on Sundays, adding 29 stores to the list.

The provision is included in the budget awaiting Gov. Christine Gregoire's signature.

Adding 29 stores means that one-third of the state stores will sell liquor on Sundays.

According to a report produced by the liquor board, estimates for Sunday liquor sales at state-owned stores were $3.87 million in 2006 and $5.68 million in 2007, for a total of $9.55 million.

But sales through last December were $10.9 million, exceeding the entire original projection by $1.35 million with six months to go.

"We were very conservative in our estimates," said Rick Garza, deputy administrative director for the Liquor Control Board. "Because it was new, we wanted to make sure we were conservative."

He said the numbers did not surprise the board, because the stores where liquor is sold on Sundays are in dense retail areas.

So why not sell liquor at all 161 state stores?

Garza said there may not be a market for all the stores to be open on Sundays.

The state also studied whether Sunday sales were hurting sales on Saturdays and Mondays, but found that sales increased 11 percent on Saturdays and 2 percent on Mondays at the state-owned stores that were open on Sundays.

Normally, said control-board spokeswoman Susan Reams, liquor sales increase about 5 percent each year because of population increases and other changes. But many stores, particularly those selling liquor on Sundays, saw sales increases in the double digits.

The Seattle store on 12th Avenue and East Pine Street saw liquor sales increase 14 percent since Sunday sales began; sales at the Tacoma Westgate store went up more than 15 percent; and a liquor store in Lynnwood reported a 23 percent increase.

With sales of $15 million for the 20 state stores, added to $3.4 million from contract stores, the projected total to the state coffers is $18 million. Of the extra money generated in the state stores, nearly $5 million will go into the state's general fund.

When the Legislature decided to experiment with Sunday sales two years ago, it marked the end of Prohibition-era liquor bans.

According to the liquor board, a ban on Sunday liquor sales was law more than 20 years before Prohibition. When Prohibition ended in 1933, the ban on Sunday sales continued.

When it was lifted, Washington became the 33rd state to allow the sale of liquor seven days a week.

The loudest complaint about Sunday sales came from the state's grocery stores, which complained that liquor stores already undercut their wine sales by offering the same wines at lower prices.

Here is a list of liquor stores open on Sundays in WA:

And there one that WAS in Lake City was open til 10 PM. I know there is another one that has the same hours, I just dont know where.

 

[Danger Manye]

they don't sell liqour on sundays here and close it down at 11 the rest of the days, but the gas station never runs out of beer so i really don't care to take up drinking liqour again. then again in tennessee we bootleg liqour still, like moonshine and liqour on sundays so it really don't matter.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Actually, some do. The state is experimenting with Sunday liquor selling in select stores. I do not believe any are in Seattle, however.

Yeah there are a select few that are now open on Sundays, I've checked around and haven't been able to find anything near by.

Thing is though these locations that are open on Sunday are closed on a different day, say Monday or some shit.

**Edit**
Thanks for the list. They must have added a number of locations because of high sales. Good lookin out

And there one that WAS in Lake City was open til 10 PM. I know there is another one that has the same hours, I just dont know where.

The only one I've known open past 9, I THINK was in downtown Bellevue, but they may have changed it.

It's pretty fucking gay all around. Not only cause of the restrictions of when/where you can by it, but also because it's more expensive than other states. I remember being at Arizona and tripping out cause you could by liquor at a store like Safeway and the same Vodka I buy a lot was about $10-15 cheaper. We got that gay ass "Sin Tax" (alcohol and tobacco).

$5.75 pack of cigarettes
$3.45 per gallon of gas
$35 5th of Grey Goose.

Fuck!! It's getting expensive to kick it these days

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

the gayest liquor law of all for WA state, is that there is NO alcohol at ALL, in strip clubs. I dont frequent strip clubs, but its still really fuckin stupid. Think of the money they could make with the few clubs that are in the Seattle area, which is officially...2. The rest are outside of Seattle.

 

[imported_jay_jay]

Texas... is another one!! but i think only certain counties,

 

[2-0-Sixx]

^^Yes, that's true. This is the reason why I've only been to a strip club in WA two times. I went up to Vancouver BC and it was tight cuz it's just like you're at a regular bar - can play pool, drink, etc., except there are naked broads dancing on tables and shit. Nothing wrong with that at all

 

[MeloTrauma]

Here in Cali, if the strip club is full nudity, no alcohol. If it is only topless, youre served alcohol.

 

[Gas One]

My cousin lives in a "dry county" in Colorado. There aint no drank sold there at all. If he wants alcohol he's gotta take a 20 minute drive into the next county.

On a side note: I went to go buy a 40 not to long ago from 7 Eleven in Dublin, CA and the dude didn't sell it to me because it was 12:30 AM. In Cali your supposed to be able to buy until 2AM. The dude said it was a city law and 2 AM didnt apply because the city law overrides the 2am standard... anybody know about this?

i dont know if anyone answered this, but its apparently based on what part of the city youre in.

so if youre in a part of the city thats more 'ghetty'....thats why

for instance the 7-11 on el cajon blvd stops at 12am
but the one on palm avenue is till 2am.

the 'city law' overriding that law is only if theres been a set time for alcohol to be shut down proposed in that area..usually metro areas or places that have problems with late night drinking.

 

[TAKIN NO SHORTZ]

alcohol is not sold after 9 pm around here
and now two months ago they set this new law, it used to be like that u can by from 7am, but now as the new law came, earliest you can by alcohol is 9am.
