A lot of places have what are known as "blue laws" that prohibit activities that are considered improper by the Christian majority. Many of these laws are archaic and have been on the books for a long time. Some of these laws have been interpreted in weird and unusual ways. Alcohol, especially hard liquor, is commonly outlawed on Sundays as an attempt to enforce certain "moral" behavior on the Sabbath (even though we supposedly have a secular government).
