I’ve been saying this for a couple of years actually.

And I’ve been saying it since a couple years before that

Yes we know you live in Philadelphia

Grocery stores don't sell beer in Philadelphia playa

No canned beers, no alcohol sales on Sunday, restaurant/bar not allowed to pour a double, etc. (This is my loose recollection from 20 years ago, a dry county in KY ... people drove to Tennessee to get beer).

Lol what world are you living in homie, these are called blue laws and I think like half of US states had them until very recently.

Historically, off-premises Sunday sales of spirits were banned, and all liquor stores were closed. On November 8, 1966, Washington state voters adopted Initiative 229, repealing the so-called "Blue Law," which had been enacted in 1909. Consumers still had the option of purchasing beer or wine from grocery stores or on-premises spirits from bars and restaurants. In 2005, the state began allowing off-premises spirits sales in select stores on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.

On the election of November 8, 2011, voters passed Initiative 1183, which brought several changes to the liquor distribution and retailing system. The most significant of these changes were the end to the state monopoly on liquor sales and distribution. On June 1, 2012, Washington completed its transition to private liquor sales. Under 1183, spirits may only be sold in premises of at least 10,000 sq ft, generally including grocery stores, warehouse clubs, department stores, and some larger specialty shops.

The sale of alcohol for both on and off-premises consumption is prohibited between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. daily.[82]
