What About “Blue Laws”?
Question by Zap: What about “blue laws”?
Zeeland, Michigan (just outside of Holland and south of Grand Rapids on the southern banks of Lake Michigan) is this little “Uber-Christian” town that does not sell alcohol. At all. Ever.
Interestingly enough, this particular town has a very high rate of alcoholism, drug addiction, teen pregnancy, and high school drop outs in comparison (per capita, of course) to other more “liberal” (and that term is used VERY loosely) towns in the same area.
And being “dry” helps how?

Apparently it’s better to ban it completely and watch people rebel themselves into oblivion rather than keep it highly moderated and keep citizens in check.
