In terms of purchasing alcohol, where in your state can you make a purchase?

Virginia has ABC stores for "booze" or hard liquor. Beer and wine can be sold in grocery or convenience stores and there are many wine stores where more upscale wines can be purchased. ABC stores are closed on Sundays here, but beer and wine can still be purchased.

Curious to your state's setup.

We can only buy it in liquor stores and some warehouse clubs, like Costco.
We can any type of alcohol on Sunday, but only after noon.

We have one local grocery store that has a license to sell hard liquor. You can buy beer, wine, and "low-test" liquor at most grocery stores and carry outs, but not before 1pm on Sundays.

<font color="green">Here in San Diego we can go to the grocery store or any store that has a liquor license and purchase any types of liquor the store is licensed for after 7am and before 2am. A bottle of Absolute 100 proof vodka retails for $19.99 at my local ralph's grocery store and $21.99 at the Beverages and more liquor full service store. Why, are you planning a party or something? lol </font>

The chain grocery stores sell all hard alcohol, wine, and beer and you can buy it until 1am or until the store closes. Corner stores just have beer and wine. No sales until noon on Sunday.

In Pa all the hard stuff including wine may be purchased at the state liquor store. I think they're closed on Sundays. Beer may be purchased as a distributor or at a bar or restaurant that has a liquor license. The restaurants/bars sell beer by the 6 pack.

Some restaurants and bars have Sunday liceses so they're able to sell Sundays. I think the distributors are closed on Sundays.

The supermarkets only sell beer or malt beverages (Mike's Hard Lemonade, etc.). To get wine or hard alcohol, you have to go to a liquor/package store. No sales of any alcoholic beverages on Sunday (or after 8 PM any other day), although I know they were looking to change the Sunday thing.

Beer at grocery and convience stores. Have to wait till noon on Sundays. Wine and hard liquor at liquor stores. Liquor stores can be open 6 days a week and they pick the days. So some are open on Sundays.

In Mass, everything's sold at a liquor store. Up until recently, liquor stores couldn't be open on Sundays (except during the holiday season). Now they're open 7 days.

"soft" liquor at the grocery or convenience store. "hard" at the liquor store, they are not state run.
Nothing on Sundays, except in a restaraunt.

My BIL has closets full in his house, his is the "party" house for the state!

You can purchase alcohol all over the place here - supermarkets, off licences, take-aways. The only restrictions are that you can only sell alcohol until 11 p.m. Monday - Saturday, so in 24 hour supermarkets, the alcohol section has to be roped off after 11 p.m. On Sundays, you can only sell alcohol between 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. I think, but those are the general opening hours of all our stores anyway.

In Manitoba, you can only buy bottles of liquor from the provincially owned liquor store. There are a few venders, usually affiliated with bars, who are licenced to sell beer or wine, which they chill and charge twice the price for. Liquor stores are open 7 days a week, and like most places can sell booze on Sunday after 12:00.

The legal age to buy and consume alcohol here is 18. Although there is a freaky law that states that children in a restaurant may consume alcohol if they're eating and if their parent consents. So if I had been so inclined, I could have ordered my 6 y.o. a bottle of beer to wash down his dino nuggets!

We can only buy liquor in "state stores" - including beer and wine. I have no idea about the hours, though...
