!Package liquor, wine and beer sales on Sunday is mandated by the State.  

Counties may allow "by the drink" sales on Sunday in establishments that 
derive more than 50% of sales from food items.  Ha!  Some places open on Sunday,
sell liquor, wine and beer and serve no food other than nachos and hot dogs.
Unless you count the jars of pigs knuckles/feet and pickled eggs as food.

Me?  I plan ahead and buy my beverages on Saturday.  And I couldn't drink if
I had to eat pigs feet.
