the 18th amendment
sunday retail alcohol sales in stores were prohibited by the georgia general assembly up until 2011. on april 28, 2011, georgia governor nathan deal signed legislation allowing local communities to vote on whether to allow alcohol sales on sundays. sales are still restricted on sundays before 12:30 p.m. on november 8, 2011, voters in more than 100 georgia cities and counties voted on a bill that would allow stores to sell alcohol on sundays. it passed in valdosta, atlanta, savannah and many other cities. before this, cities and counties of sufficiently large populations such as most of metro atlanta already had sunday alcohol sales at bars and restaurants, with local ordinances to abide by, such as having a certain amount of food sales in order to be opened and serve alcohol. exceptions were also made by the drink at festivals and large events.
blue laws in the united states
throughout the united kingdom, the sale of alcohol is restricted—pubs, restaurants, shops and other premises must be licensed by the local authority. in england, wales and scotland the authority to sell alcohol is divided into two parts – the premises licence, which prescribes the times and conditions under which alcohol can be sold, and a personal licence which allows individuals to sell alcohol or authorise its sale by others. every premises licence which authorises the sale of alcohol must also name a designated premises supervisor (designated premises manager in scotland) (“dps” or “dpm” for short) who must hold a valid personal licence – otherwise alcohol cannot be sold at that premises. the dps has day-to-day responsibility for the sale of alcohol at licensed premises. premises licences, in as far as they concern the sale of alcohol, can be categorised to include "on-licences" (allowing consumption of alcohol on the premises) and "off-licences". however, these distinctions are not explicitly made in the licensing act 2003, and the position in scotland and northern ireland is more complex. many on-licensed premises also permit off-sales.
