If you were closer I might be able to help out but I doubt you’d want to drive an hour for a bottle of wine.

Holdover from the days when local laws were even MORE Puritan.

Explain why you can’t buy a bottle today. I doubt it’s some law.

And as for the rest of the post, I agree. Hartford sucks. I live near New Haven though and I love it and all the food in it

Waaahhh. If I wanted to hear whining, I'd listen to my kids. Make some friends, I'm sure they have some wine.

Alcoholic should have made plans to get wine yesterday. You would have hated it when every package store was closed on Sunday

It dates back to our Puritan roots. Package stores used to not be allowed to be open on Sunday because of the Sabbath. They changed that awhile ago though; personally I think it should have stayed, not for religious reasons, just for New England Tradition. Anyway you can’t buy alcohol on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Years Day, in a package store or grocery store.

Did you not read anything before you moved here? The laws are perfectly clear. You're lucky they sell on Sundays.

Lack of planning in CT is a death sentence.

If you think that’s dumb, go to New Jersey. There are a certain counties where you can’t buy household appliances on Sunday.

CT also has the first AA rehab in the nation, coincidence?

Wait, you’re angry that stores are closed on a national holiday? Retail workers have families too. Grow up…

If it’s related to the post about buying wine I’m going to venture it’s how their liquor distribution is even more strange too, beer being separate and sold in “deli’s” vs liquor stores that sell wine and spirits.

No, and the dishes will be cleaned before return. You know, just what you would like.

No. All rules are posted. No excuses. Not far to NY. Lol. Or you can go to Las Vegas. They never close. Ct would revolt.

Not at all. No secrets here until it comes to money. Read everything six times. Especially the rules. Ignorance is no excuse. I've paid plenty for mine.

Rarely. I shouldn't have posted this. I needed to vent. Obviously it invited a bunch of angry responses when I vehemently said "I hate your state"! Anyway. Happy Thanksgiving.

We all hate this stunning state. Taxes too high and don't get me started on rentals. But yet, I came back because I love it. No secrets here.
