DENVER – This legislative session, two Colorado liquor laws may receive closer scrutiny, the Greeley Tribune reports. One law involves repealing the ban on Sunday liquor sales, while the other law concerns grocery stores’ ability to sell full-strength wine and beer.

Since the time of Prohibition, Colorado stores cannot sell alcohol on Sundays, but now the liquor industry wants state legislators to change that law. According to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS), year-round sales of liquor in Colorado would garner between $23 million to $32 million for retailers—and bring in up to $2.6 million in state tax revenue.

“Colorado package stores are striking out, … while retailers across the border knock sales out of the park,” said Dale Szyndrowski, vice president of DISCUS. “Colorado consumers continue to be inconvenienced by these Prohibition-era laws, while state coffers lose millions in state revenue.”

Currently, 34 states permit alcohol to be sold on Sundays, and since 2002, 12 additional states have changed their liquor laws to lift the ban on Sunday sales.

Right now, the vast majority of Colorado grocery and convenience stores can only sell 3.2 percent alcohol by volume beer. This year, lawmakers will most likely consider measures to change the law to permit those stores to apply for a full liquor license.
