Ya’ll can buy beer in a grocery store?
In this state you have to go to a state licensed beer distributor to purchase beer, and to purchase wine and spirits you have to go to a state owned and run liquor store. The beer distributor in my town (licenses are granted to a business and it controls a geographical area) closes at 6 pm every day except on Friday when they close at 8 pm. And just recently they found it in their heart to open on Sunday to 3 pm. In recent years some select convenience stores have been licensed by the state to sell 2 six-packs at a time, but do you really want to pay over $10 for a six-pack?
In Colorado, you can buy 3.2 beer at the grocery store. To get wine and other alcohol, including real beer, you go to a licensed retail establishment. They're now open seven days a week. Up until a few years ago, they were closed on Sunday, an artifact of the "blue laws." Car dealerships are still closed on Sunday.
Or you can go north to Wyoming, an hour away from my place, where grocery stores stock liquor of all stripes. I don't need to. My favorite local retail shop of choice currently has 12-year Macallan on sale for $49.99.
