Alcohol and gambling are both heavily regulated. Gambling was illegal in almost all of the U.S. until about 50 years ago, and it has only recently become widespread. Alcohol was entirely banned for a number of years and even today there are counties where you can’t buy alcohol. Even where you can there are many restrictions on hours of sale, licensing, etc.
