Can still get beer and wine at a grocery store. "Religion, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable." ~ AMBROSE BIERCE (1842-1914)

When I visited Austin a number of months ago it felt odd that the Whole Foods near my hotel had a couple of aisles of wine and beer basically in the middle of the supermarket. That's doesn't happen in Australia. I'm not sure of the exact legislation but the effect is that all liquor is in a separate store. Wade.

Items selected are paid for in that sub-store and tagged as "Approved". This sub-store is the size of many liquor stores, and has an incredible number of selections that are over US $100 per bottle. I buy the Armenian brandy I use as throat sterilizer there. My other most visited market also has a vast liquor section with plenty of expensive bottles. Theirs is all in a wall long, glazed cabinet under lock and key.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

You can't say to people "ha! months of no going out or socialising or none of that shit for YUO!" and then also say "also, no drinking". At least, you can't say that to British people, without consequences.
