They're all the same.\"\nAnd that's not a bad thing.\n\nWhen I first heard that liquor and beer had to be sold at separate locations in NC, I was a bit peeved. Liquor laws like those that necessitate the ABC stores usually do nothing more than annoy the casual drinker. \n\nHowever, in Michigan where liquor and beer can be sold just about anywhere, most liquor stores are a bit skeevy. If you want a bottle of liquor, you either have to venture into a rough neighborhood and request to the man behind the counter something like, \"Yeah, the bottle there. Yep, right above the Juggs magazine.\" Or, you can find the same bottle in a nice neighborhood for $5 more. \n\nABC sort of cuts that out of the equation. You'd better get there on the right day, and it'd better be before they close, but it's a consistent and fair price, a nicely laid store and a great selection.\n\nFor those reasons, I've actually grown to like the government run store idea. \n\nNow if they could only let me buy liquor during the hours I'd like to drink it, I'd be in full support."^^ .
