Indiana takes step toward Sunday alcohol sales

A panel working to revise Indiana’s alcohol laws voted Tuesday to recommend allowing carryout alcohol sales on Sunday.

The recommendation is an important win for supporters of Sunday alcohol sales, but the measure still faces a number of hurdles before it can become law. It also sets up a showdown over another issue: cold beer.

Missouri has some pretty lax liquor laws compared to other states.

We still don't allow wine or beer in grocery stores which I kind of like because we have so many locally and family owned liquor stores I'd hate to see go out of business.
