I have a liquor store a block away from me. They are open. The grocery store that I go to has just beer and wine. I'm glad you responded. I am think you have a city or county ordinance that is causing that. It made me think that Spokane might be different too. I called one of their liquor stores and you can buy anything there. It is a lot like an offsell. You can also go to the grocery store but they have a limited liquor selection. I apologize for not checking and just assuming. We stand corrected
As far as the 3.2%, I had a pamphlet stating that when I moved to Seattle in 85. That was many moons ago so the amount could have changed a little. I can't get an accurate answer on the web either. All I do know is that I know my limit on domestic beers to get a buzz. If I drink that same amount in Fargo, I'm drunk.
