48. blue state Minnesota got rid of their law just last year

Sun Feb 25, 2018, 02:38 PM

Feb 2018

In July 2017, liquor stores were allowed to sell alcohol on Sunday for the first time

Interestingly, we were the last or close to the last state to change the DWI threshold from 0.10 to 0.08.

Go figure.
