Great system, huh?
That's even worse than Washington! At least we can buy all the beer and wine we want at grocery stores. And there's an initiative to privitise liquor sales this year. I very much hope it passes.

Most of these laws are remenants of prohibition. Because booze was banned, the mob got into selling booze. So after prohibition ended, the government decided they still needed laws to keep the mob out. Mor laws to fix the problems caused by the original laws.
