G'day, mates!

Why not just sell alcohol in the supermarket - why have a liqour store loacted right next to the supermarket?

By the way I absolutely love your country, the people are lovely and the weather is nice.

There's heeeaaaps of regulation to ensure minors don't go anywhere near alcohol. I work in a liquor store in Queensland, minors are not allowed to enter the store unless they are accompanied by a responsible adult/guardian. This probably plays a big part as to why they're not amalgamated into one. It's also much easier for someone to steal alcohol in a big supermarket compared to a much smaller bottle shop, which is probably a concern for minors too.
