Move to Sweden, here you can't buy a beer above 3.5% abv in a store. Anything above that you have to buy at the state owned liqueur store systembolaget. The upside is that they have a pretty good assortment. The store in my small town carry about 300 different beers. About a third is IPA.
Where I am in the states, you can't buy any alcohol in a grocery store.
You guys have some confusing alcohol laws and customs that side of the pond. I was in Pennsylvania (amongst other places) a month ago and couldn't find any alcohol in Walmart if my life depended on it. I knew from previous visits that Pennsylvania didn't allow sale in grocery stores, but that has since changed hasn't it?
Also sometimes beer was super expensive, and sometimes it was $1.25 for 25 fl oz for some brand I'd never heard of at a freaking gas station. They don't alcohol in gas stations here in the Netherland, but even surrounding countries that do allow it usually have fairly high prices at gas stations.
Belgium is really the best place for beer in my opinion. There is a good variety of local/traditional styles but you can also get the more modern stuff
Also much cheaper there. And you have a lot of pubs to go to. And you can drink them when you're 16.
Yeah, when I went there it was hella cheaper to get a beer with dinner than water.
