While Sunday sales of bulk alcohol is not something I think needs to be promoted (responsible drinkers shouldn't have a problem buying enough on Saturday for any Sunday needs), I'd almost help push this law if it contained a rider to outlaw selling cold beer, especially singles, from drive-thru windows.
