“We typically receive many inquiries from liquor retailers, police officers, and the general public about this matter, so I want to ensure that buyers and sellers understand what the law says,” Rubenstein said. “According to Section 30-91d of the Connecticut General Statutes, when Christmas Day and New Year’s Day fall on Sunday, retail sales of liquor on that Sunday and the following Monday are prohibited. In short, package stores will not be open on December 26th or on January 2nd. Link.
