Time again for the annual ATC holiday downbuzz.

Adapted from an NAC posting of December 25, 2007: Annual ATC holiday downbuzz.

The Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission poses a question and answers it:

Is it illegal to dispense alcoholic beverages on certain days?

Yes. It is unlawful to dispense alcoholic beverages on Christmas Day and on Primary, General, or Special Election Days while the polls are open. It is also unlawful to dispense alcoholic beverages for carryout on New Year's Day.


Surely principled ACLU intervention would be sufficient to remove the Christmas Day sales ban. If ever there were an obvious case of improper religious establishment, this is it.

What other reason could there be for specifying Christmas over any other day?

Other than that, I’m having a great holiday. I stocked up well before the deadline, thank you.
