What is the advantage of booze in grocery stores?

• 15155 2y ago
  I don't have to go to two stores to obtain it? Normally these same laws restricting sales to private liquor stores also come with a convenient quota on the number of licenses issued to protect sales. Most areas that remove the liquor store limitations also remove the license quota out of necessity.

    Hmm -- I found more booze in grocery stores means less you know: food selection. Seems a bad deal to swap food for an addictive drug, but: "give me convenience or give me death" and all.

        >Often, grocery stores that sell liquor have entirely dedicated wings for it. When alcohol was allowed into the grocery stores here (before only liquor stores could sell alchohol), food was removed -- the store wasn't expanded. >This is a product that one drinks - like juices and milk - introducing arbitrary inconvenience to obtaining it doesn't really track. Alcoholic beverages rarely contain any nutritional value. Juices and milk do. Really -- milk? >What are soda, sugar, candy, ice cream for some folks? Are you serious? There isn't a Candy Anonymous. There's no Mother's Against Indulging in Ice Cream and Driving. There's no Adult Children of Parents who Really Really Like Skittles.
