Virginia has a state liquor monopoly. Gov't-run booze distributors are the only outlets for Virginian thirst.

But it is likely to end in the near future, woo hoo!

As someone who comes from one of those states, NC, I have to say that it was annoying when the stores closed at 8 or 9pm.

Man, the blue laws in Tennessee and Mississippi were annoying enough (no liquor on Sundays, and, for a time, no cold beer ever); I can't imagine living somewhere were there's even fewer liquor stores that close that early. ...especially after coming to Korea. Every time I go back home to visit, I have to ask people every few days how much longer I have to make a beer or liquor run.

Had the Blue Laws in Mass (still do to some extent) from the Puritans. When I was in H.S./Uni you couldn't buy alcohol on Sundays, so we sometimes made runs to New Hampshire when we hadn't planned accordingly.
