OP must be confusing SC and GA. GA has a state law banning Sunday alcohol sales. In SC it is up to local governments.
I think all blue laws are pretty archaic but they exist in many states, including ones not in the SE.
Um Mmm I can go into an open liq our store in Georgia that's got less hours but still open longer than south Carolina's on a regular day. I think u have the two confused. It's local option in both states if a restaurant can pour on a Sunday though.
Fortunately I don't have to deal with that invasive sc government anymore
I used to live in New England. Massachusetts, like South Carolina, is a local-option state. For instance, the Town of Needham (where my brother used to be a policeman) had NO liquor stores whatsoever until just last year. According to the Alcohol Beverage Control Commission in Massachusetts, there are eight communities within the Commonwealth that still ban sales of alcohol of any kind, period.
In the United States, there are 33 states that have laws that allow localities to prohibit the sale (and, in some cases, consumption and possession) of liquor. However, a number of those states have no dry communities. Three states (Kansas, Mississippi and Tennessee) are entirely dry by default, though individual counties may specifically authorize the sale of alcohol within their boundaries.

I had to look this up - they changed the law since we last lived in Georgia. They used to ban all alcohol sales on Sunday but now it is a local option. I don't like blue laws either but GA isn't very far ahead of SC on this issue.

lol I see you corrected yourself. There are still some cities in the state that have these laws.
My last post was deleted, I believe due to the person I was responding to, but I think my question still is important: Are "Asian spas" invariably brothels or is this just a stereotype? If they are usually brothels, why are they not shut down by police? Greenville does actively do sting operations to bust prostitution, so why wouldn't they go after these places?
My girlfriend and I were driving back to NC from GA a few weeks ago and stopped at Olive Garden for dinner. We asked for a couple glasses of wine and were told no Alcohol on Sunday. The waiters reaction was one of surprise like OMG I can't believe you asked. We did not stay to eat! As we drove along 85 we started to see huge light build boards for adult toy stores and YES ladies and gentlemen Asian (brothel) spa's.
It is apparent SC struggles with bringing in tax revenue and road maintenance (including road litter).
As a northerner seeing brothel advertisement intermixed with laws banning Sunday alcohol sales is simply the most amazing and backward thing I have seen in years if not ever IMO.
What say you?
I'm glad you were unable to drink and drive. Your story has holes, so I don't believe you. Trolling OP gonna troll.
