Alcohol laws in the US vary by State, as they vary by Province and Territory in Canada.
Beer is not sold in privately owned stores in British Columbia, for example.
In Missouri, I can buy alcohol in every grocery store and gas station. I can even drink it while riding in a car (in most parts of the state).
Sorry to burst your superiority bubble.
My post wasn't meant to appear superior in any way... *LOL* *rolling eyes*
And i didn't know the laws varied from province to province, so you see, i can even admit i have learned something from your post.
So I'll just stick to the province of Quebec since it's the only one i know well, and we have strict law enforcing against drunk driving here, and we cannot walk the street openly with beer in hand or any other alcohol beverages.
(sometimes it's tolerated in parks if you do not start disturbing other people or look like a Gang of street Gansgtas or bikers that are about to start stirring some ****.
But like if you an your wife and kids brought lunch and are having a glass of wine on the picnic table, you're not likely to be bothered at all.)
We can buy it (refrigerated) in every grocery, gas station or corner store in cases of 6 to 24 from a **** load of various brands, well known and local ones too, has to be bought before 11pm.
There are not ABV laws either on store bought beer or home brewing either, i could brew 2000 gallons of it a year and nobody would bother me with anything, (not that i could produce such a huge amount).
The main thing here is :"Produce all you want, drink all you want, but forget your car or other vehicle as long as you're under the influence".
The local bars close at 3Am here, while in Ontario they close at 2 am.
Thats about all i know about the laws on Alcohol here.
