New Year’s Eve, Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July? Same hours apply. Colorado doesn’t mess with holiday specials for alcohol sales. So if you forget to stock up before midnight on Christmas Eve… well, merry Christmas to you and your dry mouth.
But there’s one exception: if a 7-Eleven is open 24 hours, the alcohol coolers lock at the posted time. That means you can still get a hot dog at 3 AM, but the beer stays locked up like a grumpy dragon guarding its hoard. “No booze for you!” it says in a metallic click.
Here’s a lifesaver: use the 7-Eleven app. It shows you which stores sell alcohol and what hours they follow. Seriously, take 30 seconds to check before you drive across town and end up at a sad, dry mini-mart. It’s like a magic map for your drunk shopping needs.
A quick list of real Colorado rules (so you don’t get caught):
Monday-Saturday: 8 AM to midnight. Most stores. Sunday: 8 AM to 10 PM. Most stores. Some stores (in certain towns): stop at 10 PM every day. Check signs. You must be 21+. Obviously. No hard liquor. Ever. At 7-Eleven. Go to a proper store for that.

If you’re ever really unsure, just look at the cooler door. If it’s got a big “ALCOHOL SALE HOURS” sign, read it. It’s like the fine print in a contract, but with more beer puns. “We reserve the right to make you sad at 11:59 PM.”
