Local option permitted, but no dry jurisdictions; in 2016 came the biggest modifications in state liquor laws since Prohibition: stores that may sell only 3.2 percent alcohol by weight beer allowed to offer higher percentage brews by 2019; grocery store chains in 2016 permitted only one statewide liquor license to sell wine, spirits and full-strength beer would have up to five such licenses in 2017, 20 licenses by 2032 and no limits after 2037.

 

State law: “Liquor stores are prohibited from the sale of food items except those approved by the state licensing authority that are prepackaged, labeled, directly related to the consumption of liquor, and are sold in containers up to 16 ounces for the purpose of cocktail garnish. Liquor-licensed drug stores are not subject to prohibitions or requirements regarding sale of food items.”
