Same here where I live in Louisiana but just across the bridge in the City of New Orleans is 24/7


I think every place should be 24/7, but its all the nazis and idiots with MADD that limit it. New Orleans is so much fun :)

Well MADD wouldn't have such a compelling case if the UnJudicial system kept letting repeat DWI offenders keep repeating.

There was a case recently here where the guy was nabbed 20 times for DWI and they keep letting him out.

24 hours a day in my county. But the one next door cuts off on saturday night 2am-till sunday 1200pm. Time enough for you to go to church with a hang over.

Although its better to go drunk than hung over IMO.

At least we have selection from the LCBO. I've been in Calgary liquor stores and they suck for a good selection of beer.

Last call is 3am in TN. Of course, when you know the bartender and help him clean up after they close, you get free shots until 4am. :)

It used to be 8pm, now it's 9pm. Also no Sunday sales, so when the package stores close at 9pm on Saturday night that's it until that reopen on Monday morning. Also very restrictive on what stores can sell what. Supermarkets can sell beer, but not hard liquor. Convenience stores can't sell any alcohol, so no running to the nearest 7-11 to buy a 6-pack.

Jersey it's 10pm. You can get a case of beer from a bar and take it home though. I can't figure out why supermarkets aren't allowed to sell beer in NJ?
