Like they said, it doubles as a convenience store. In the states where convenience stores can sell alcohol (most of them), yes.

Yes, but at least at CVS they no longer sell cigarettes https://edition.cnn.com/2014/02/05/health/cvs-cigarettes/ind...

It’s changed now, I’m sure, but growing up in Indiana there were two places to buy hard liquor: liquor store, and the drug store. And the drug store was often cheaper.

I’ve always wondered what convoluted logic lead to passing such a law in 1889, or whenever they thought it was a good idea.

Where I am (Ohio, USA), drug stores like CVS/Wallgreens sell beer, wine.

Hard liquor over a certain alcohol percent is only available at a state liquor agency.

In Washington state, drug stores dedicate as much or more space to booze, including high proof liquors, as they do to medical goods.

It is a *drug* store.

Why not?
