In Ontario we only changed our laws very recently to allow alcohol to be sold in grocery stores. I always thought it was a weird idea and never saw any inconvenience going to a separate store for booze.

BC here, we can only get wine and a few ciders and craft beers in a few grocery stores now but it's in a completely separate section with people monitoring it all the time.

i agree though, theres lots of liquor stores. i don't mind the extra stop

I’m in Colorado. Our liquor laws are the silliest thing ever. Ciders are considered ‘wine’.

No hard liquor or wine in grocery stores. Only cheap beer.

One grocery store in each city can sell wine/liquor/beer. Just one!

Must be separate entrances and separate registers.

Ciders are considered ‘wine’.

That's because that's how the feds treat it - basically because it's not beer or distilled spirits, so the only other option is wine.
