Let me ask this question. Why stop at laws that only prohibit alcohol? Why not shut down ALL businesses on the Sabbath? Surely, people running off to retail sales, sporting events, or dining in fancy restaurants or other non-religious activities aren't necessarily keeping the Sabbath, are they?
I thought the point was made mute by Jesus when he commanded the the cripple to 'take up your bed and walk', on the Sabbath?
Bingo. The question regards one product's availability, ignoring a whole commandment ("...on that day you [and everyone else following your lead] shall not labor..."). Ironically, I'll be sipping wine around 11:30AM on Sundays (part of Communion).
