A hitherto unknown advantage of blue laws

I went to the store this morning (milk, etc.) because I was up, dammit. And on the way out, I got panhandled. Now, as a bleeding heart liberal, I am a soft touch and gave the guy some change. Anyway, as a bleeding heart liberal, I feel bad because I know that the guy really doesn't need the money to buy gas. Except that since it's Sunday, there are no alcohol sales allowed, so it's not that. But I'm still guessing it's not for gas.

As a former c-store clerk, my guess he would buy a bottle of the generic nyquil (50 proof about 2.50 a pint) or try to buy a few loosies (illegal to sell in Alabama) from some one.

I'd tell him to hang out at the Home Depot and then I'd hire him for some daywork.
