As an Ontarian and having previously lived in a country where pretty much anyone can sell alcohol till very late i find your comment odd.
I lived in the states for several years and you can get liquor at grocery stores, they had private stores which were like 4 times the size and selection of any LCBO.
What i do recall seeing is Toronto Liquor being sold in Connecticut for a full 50% less (bottled in Toronto)..
I dont recall seeing any "problems", in fact it seems Ontario and Connecticut have similiar death rates and Canada is among the worlds highest despite ourarchaic liquor laws from the 1920's which are almost soviet era (wait in line for a ticket, then wait in line for your item).

you can see canada's rates are 5.4 per 100,000 people and you can see Connecticuts rates here http://c-hit.org/2016/01/17/drunk-driving-fatalities-decline-but-state-ranks-high-in-impaired-drivers/ http://c-hit.org/2016/01/17/drunk-driving-fatalities-decline...
Perhaps you have a reason why Canada's death rate from impaired driving is actually higher then the US?
PS. I dont even drink, but find it odd the government is in this business and gouges their customers. if it is "bad" for you, why sell it? oh.. thats right.. to stop the bootleggers and fill hte government revenue?
