Move to Sweden, here you can't buy a beer above 3.5% abv in a store. Anything above that you have to buy at the state owned liqueur store systembolaget. The upside is that they have a pretty good assortment. The store in my small town carry about 300 different beers. About a third is IPA.

Belgium is really the best place for beer in my opinion. There is a good variety of local/traditional styles but you can also get the more modern stuff

Also much cheaper there. And you have a lot of pubs to go to. And you can drink them when you're 16.

Yeah, when I went there it was hella cheaper to get a beer with dinner than water.

Where I am in the states, you can't buy any alcohol in a grocery store.

You guys have some confusing alcohol laws and customs that side of the pond. I was in Pennsylvania (amongst other places) a month ago and couldn't find any alcohol in Walmart if my life depended on it. I knew from previous visits that Pennsylvania didn't allow sale in grocery stores, but that has since changed hasn't it?

Also sometimes beer was super expensive, and sometimes it was $1.25 for 25 fl oz for some brand I'd never heard of at a freaking gas station. They don't alcohol in gas stations here in the Netherland, but even surrounding countries that do allow it usually have fairly high prices at gas stations.
