Yeah and for us in my state the old alcohol laws meant that there are tons of stand alone liquor stores. You cannot buy hard liquor in grocery stores and only as of last year could you buy beer that contained more than 3.2 ABV (limit is now 5.9 ABV at the grocery store). Temp licenses were given to allow bars and liquor stores to sell curbside. I know my local liquor store def. benefited from being open. Truth is it kept jobs around. There would have been much more unemployment claims if they couldn't stay open in some fashion and some bars did end up closing for a time because even with the alcohol curbside allowed they just couldn't make it. I actually think my local liquor store may keep doing the curbside for a while. People are utilizing it. Any time we've been inside people are wearing masks and are much more aware of their space around them far more than other places I've been to TBH.I always found it odd as well, but it was explained to me that they’re considered essential because so many people deal with alcohol addiction. They don’t want people detoxing on their own and unwillingly. Marijuana dispensaries = medical since so many use it for medical purposes.
