Actually the liquor laws here are a bit oppressive, though in recent times have been becoming more and more lax. The alcohol content in beers and ales and malts and such are limited. I don't think there's any limit on other alcoholic drinks content-wise, but you can't get hard alcohol from anywhere but the state operated liquor stores and are limited in how much you can buy.
A couple of the things that have been changed lately, is that you used to only be able to get hard drinks in a bar or club setting at private clubs that had to limit and monitor membership. Also, the actual bar at said establishments had to be behind a 3 foot thick wall or some shit like that.
Last year a bill passed in the state congress that got rid of both of those. I don't drink much so I could really care less, though. Plus I am moving soon so idk and idc
