I got 133 out of 150 on the US one.  I don't know the north east very well.

Yes.  Alcohol.

I'm looking forward to the novel experience of buying alcohol at a grocery store.  That will be neat.  However, in a turn of events, it may turn out that my friend will either join me later or not at all, and I'm not one to drink alone.

Considering where I'll be though, I'm wondering how hard I'll need to search to find a jug with "XXX" on it somewhere.

Can you buy alcohol in a grocery store in Alabama?  You can't in Texas.  Hard liquor is only sold in "package stores" or liquor stores as we call them.  You can in some parts of Louisiana.  It varies from state to state.  In Oklahoma the package stores can only sell alcohol, nothing else.  In Texas the liquor stores sell other things, I don't know what the limitations are. 

My favorites are the drive through liquor stores in Louisiana with frozen margaritas to go.

We have package stores in NC, too. AKA Alcoholic Beverage Control, or ABC stores. Pedro was astonished the first time he went to a grocery store in Ohio and saw rum on the shelves.

I believe in states where Costco sells booze you can buy it even without a membership. I can't cite the particular law, but they can't refuse to sell you alcohol for some reason.

In Kentucky you can only buy beer in grocery stores.  Everything else you have to get at the liquor store, although Kroger is mounting an effort to allow wine sales in groceries.

In Missouri they sell everything in groceries -- beer, wine and hard liquor.

In VA it's beer/wine only in the supermarkets (and gas stations/drug stores/7-11s) but that includes things like Lynchburg Lemonade, Mike's, and Smirnoff Ice. ABC stores are all state-run and are also allowed to sell things like sour mix. And nobody can sell liquor (as opposed to serve) between midnight and 6am.

My favorite law is that any restaurant that sells wine by the bottle must let you take an unfinished bottle home. But they have to completely wrap it in paper to avoid open container laws.

I walked by a bar this morning that had a promo poster out for some brand of "sweet tea-flavored vodka."  Oy.

Really, try it. But only Firefly. It is the Cadillac of sweet-tea vodkas.

Alcohol at Costco?  Wow.  That is something.

I will have to do some investigative research into the whole situation when I get there.  Interesting.

Also, I will be asking people to repeat themselves an embarrassing number of times due to the accent issue.
