Something I might not have told all of you yet...  Massachusettes has even more bizarre liquor laws than Alabama.  Only three (3) stores in any company (read as supermarket chain) in the state can sell beer/wine/liquor.  It was a law enacted back in the 1930s, but it's still in effect today.  And I'm sure the smaller mom-and-pop liquor stores don't want it changed.  Here is a link to the initiative to get it changed.
