What time can you purchase beer on sunday

ATLANTA — You can now purchase alcoholic beverages a little earlier on Sunday in the city of Atlanta, thanks to a recent measure passed by voters on election day.

The Sunday Alcohol Sales Measure passed Tuesday with just over 82% of voters voting in agreement with the law change.

In Georgia, the law has long stated that alcoholic beverages could only be purchased between 12:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on Sundays.

Back in 2018, the city of Atlanta passed a Brunch Bill, which allowed restaurants to begin serving boozy beverages on Sunday starting at 11 a.m. Previous laws signed by Gov. Kemp have also allowed for home delivery of alcohol on Sundays, as well as to-go cocktails from restaurants.

However, if you've ever tried to pick up a bottle of wine during a Sunday morning grocery store run, you've likely been told to put it back.

Now with the city's new measure, Atlanta residents can now purchase beer, wine, spirits from 11 a.m. Sunday all the way to midnight.

The new measure is expected to take effect in 2023.

WACO, Texas (KWTX) - A change in state law now allows Texas to legally buy beer and wine at stores starting at 10 a.m. on Sundays.

The 87th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 1518 in the spring and it went into effect on Wednesday, Sept. 1. The law amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code which previously required grocery stores and convenience stores wait until noon to sell beer and wine.

During weekdays stores can sell beer and wine from 7 a.m. until midnight Monday through Friday and from 7 a.m. Saturday until 1 a.m. Sunday.

The law only applies to beer and wine. Liquor is still not allowed to be sold on Sundays and liquor stores are to be remained closed on Sundays. Liquor sales are also prohibited on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s Day and before 10 a.m. or after 9 p.m. on any other day.

The bill does provide an exception for hotel bars to sell alcohol to registered guests at any time of day.

The Texas alcohol bans, often referred to as Blue Laws, date back to 1935 when lawmakers passed the Texas Liquor Control Act in response to the repeal of Prohibition.

This year Gov. Greg Abbott also signed a bipartisan bill making alcohol to-go sales legal in the state. The state had temporarily allowed the practice during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. R
