No offense to anyone, I have the utmost respect for all churches synagogues, mosques, and heir beliefs etc.. but let's at least pretend to have some decent separation of church and state. I still can't get over the ridiculous and archaic "no wine before 1pm on Sundays on the OHI of O".

Don't see us changing too much anytime soon.  The basic difference between here and Europe is that the crazy, pissed off folks can actually own their guns.

I wonder if this is something that will happen here?

I know it's a matter of culture.  They have lower crime than us, even with less control on alcohol.  My point was that increased control on alcohol isn't going to lower crime, which is this senator's motivation for the bill.  This push for more alcohol control is pointless.
