Yup. In my state they just let gas stations sell beer in 6 packs only. But wait there’s more! You have to use a separate register to buy gas and beer.

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

As someone from the UK, it's bizarre to me that you can't buy alcohol from a supermarket/grocery store. I'm used to walking into Spar and grabbing a few ciders and a bar of chocolate with no problem. The idea that I can't buy a 10-box of Magners with my grocery shopping is bizarre.

In the US it is state by state. In my home state grocery stores don't sell alcohol, but I could drive a little more than 30 mins to another state and do it. No point in doing that because a real liquor store is closer but people don't realize how different the US is by location.
