Liquor Stores in the U.S.A.
There are currently 42,941 liquor stores in the U.S, so it shouldn’t be that difficult to find one near you. The problem is to find a store that is open right now, as, more often than not, the urge to buy liquor comes late at night. And most states have licensing laws in place that allows the sale of alcohol only between the hours of 8 A.m. and 2 A.m, for example. There are currently 18 states in the U.S., that exercise a state alcohol monopoly. Out of the 18 states that regulate alcohol wholesales, only 10 (Alabama, Idaho, New Hampshire, Virginia, Washington, Utah, Oregon, North Carolina and Pennsylvania) actually run the liquor stores. The other states contract the operations of the stores to private firms. As of 1988, all 50 states and the District of Columbia had a minimum purchase age of 21. Homebrewing of beer became legal in all 50 states in 2013.
