I live up here in Ohio, and you used to be able to buy hard liquor . . . kinda' generic and watered down . . . at some of our convenience stores. I doubt if they sell it anymore.
Ours sell beer and wine only. Liquor is sold in a stand-alone store. It may be adjacent, but must be separate. When I was in Europe, 10 years back, I was surprised to see liquor sold in grocery stores...............
