I'm very thankful that my state doesn't allow hard liquor sales in drug stores, grocery stores, gas stations, etc. The only alcohol you can find in those places is 3.2 beer. I'm fairly certain that if hard liquor sales were allowed in those places, it would have exacerbated my addiction at an even more alarming rate than it was already progressing.
It's easy enough to get booze. I really didn't need any more available options.
