I'm in Erie County, so you can legally start buying alcohol at 8am. Except Sundays, when you can't buy any alcohol before 12 noon (which puts a real damper on football games if you forgot to grab beer the night before.  ) Sales stop at 3 or 4am.
Liquor stores used to be closed Sunday by law, but they just changed it. The store can now be open on Sunday, but they must choose another day that wek to be closed.  Most just stay closed Sun unless there's a holiday involved or it's football season.
As far as I know we do not have any drive-through liquor stores, but a few will deliver.  |
Oh, to live in another state . . .
PA has so many outdated laws regarding the sale of liquor and beer it is ridiculous. We aren't able to buy wine online and have it shipped to us (legally, that is) and we aren't allowed to buy wine, say on a vacation to VA, and cart it home across the border (again, legally that is). Also, no liquor can be sold at strip joints unless the girls wear G-strings and pasties.
How do I know all of this? In law school, I worked as a law clerk for the PA State Police.
