Its like that in some states in the US....
In Washington you can get beer and wine in any store that has the right license, but hard alcohol (over 20%) is sold in state run liquor stores.

In Queensland, you can't buy anything alcoholic at supermarkets or general stores, it has to be from a 'bottle shop' (liquor store/off-licsense for you INTLs). I'm not sure if that's the case in the other states in AU, though?

you can buy it anywhere here, from the walmart type big stores to the tiny corner stores, there's one about 200m from here & out of 3 aisles, one is full of beer, spirits etc etc.

I used to get all my cheap grog from Sainsburys. 5 minute walk, 20% (++) cheaper than the offy - too damn easy.

I'm pretty sure it's the same in all states and possibly territories. It may be federal law.

Cool, I wasn't sure. The only interstate place I've been in a while was Bryon Bay, and I didn't bother to check if they had booze in the supermarket. I only went in for cheese and crackers

LOL!! It's literally ONE BLOCK east of the Westin Harbor Castle. Bahahaha. It's one of the largest liquor stores in Ontario, too.
