AOX81, in Canada, it is done by province (i.e. "state" regulated)...
Just to further clarify, at the B.C. Liquor Store, you can buy
everything: beer, wine, hard stuff (vodka, rum or gin), coolers, etc. There are also some beer and wine stores that only sell the "soft stuff', like Beer, Wine, Coolers, Cider, etc. (No vodka, rum or gin). But no convenience stores with boozey bevvies....
In Ontario (where gphi2k2 lives), the gov't store is called LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) sells the booze.
In Quebec, you can buy beer and wine at the "depanneur" (the convenience store), but again, no "hard stuff"....you have to go to the Gov't Store for that.
