Even the health experts say one a day is good for you. It's HOW one drinks. I'd be more concerned with someone's behavior such as do they become abusive or drive,or drink till they pass out? I know many that enjoy their 1-2 beers or glasses of wine on a daily basis but they never get drunk. I don't really have a problem with that. To each their own.

If you don't want to buy liquor on Sunday, don't do it. If you don't want to see liquor being purchased on Sunday, don't go to the liquor store. Did Jesus tell us not to drink on Sunday? Didn't he have wine with most meals? Was it only water on Sunday? Freakin Sat. is the sabbath anyway. Geeez !!! I guess I don’t understand the issue.

Like when you had to buy liquor card that stayed at the bar and you had to re-charge it to get more.What a cluster Fark.We have moved into the '80's. That's about it. Posted by: fleettwood | July 10, 2007 at 05:17 PM Haha. Apparently you are too young to remember the even more strict laws of the seventies. Such as no recipricol memberships, no liquor cards--you had to be a member of THAT club, and there had to be a bottle with YOUR name on it, at least as I recall.You've still come a long way baby. Is there more to go? Sure. I don;t care when liquor stores are open. THey could be 24/7 for all I care. Of course, I live in a small commmuity. The sidewalks roll up at 7 pm. Planning is a condition I am used to. That’s not saying much.
