Bars are heavily, heavily regulated actually. You could have chosen a better example.

  They're heavily regulated but not regarding what liqueur and beer they have to offer...which is exactly what OP was comparing it to.

    Actually, in many places there are regulations on these things. For example, in France, they are legally obligated to serve several non-alcoholic drinks if they serve beer and wine.

    > but not regarding what liqueur and beer they have to offer Try selling moonshine you brewed under the counter, and you'll quickly learn how much regulation there is.

      > moonshine you brewed under the counter That sounds like as good a metaphor for addictive and unhealthy social media feeds as any! :-)

    Many jurisdictions do in fact include what drinks are available as license conditions. E.g. A license for beer and wine can be easier to get than a license for liquor. Or brewery (beer only) get a special category with less restrictions (e.g. they aren't required to provide food) etc etc
