Blue laws seem excessive to me. I grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and you could buy anything any time when it came to liquor. When I moved to San Francisco and the bartender said "last call" I had no idea what they were talking about. Couldn't get a "go cup"either. I was shocked by the state's draconian meddling in the rights of the individual. But once you understand how it works, you just stock up. No big deal.

In MS, you can buy liquor drinks for on premise consumption 7 days a week but liquor stores are closed on Sundays. Also MS regulates liquor store hours from 10am to 10pm, Monday thru Saturday..
Depends on the store. But in most places in SC, wine and beer sales are still limited to after the noon hour. Liquor is typically sold in ABC stores which aren’t open on Sundays. Btw, ABC stands for Alcohol and Beverage Control.
You have to remember, the south was very controlled by the Southern Baptist who didn’t believe in alcohol. The Blue Laws not only controlled alcohol but controlled which stores could be open and if the store was open, what could be bought. Most of that has disappeared in this century. Alcohol sales being the last stance.

In SC, liquor stores are independently owned. ABC does control their hours and a few other things but the ABC does not own stores. In some states, such as NH, their ABC owns all the liquor stores so they are commonly called State Liquor Stores.

Why do some liquor stores in South Carolina have ABC signs on them?
Many sports are on Sundays like the NFL. If you have people coming over for the game and they don't like/beer wine they should be able to stop and get what they want.

There were blue laws in states outside of the south.
