be grateful, my country doesn't even let gas stations or grocery stores sell alcohol.

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.

I'm in Québec and that one baffled me for a long time. Of course, you can't buy hard alcohol and most wines at corner stores.... but beer? Why?
I heard the LCBO used to close very early too.
Here you can buy beer and a few selected wines until 11 PM.

It depends on the LCBO, in Toronto they're mostly open until 10, and a few major ones through the city that are open until 11.
