This is a multi-part question, but all the questions are related, one
leading to the next, and all dealing with the New York (state) ABC
(Alcoholic Beverage Control) rules and regulations.

I assume, at some point liquor, beer, and wine products were not
allowed to be sold in retail establishments (such as grocery stores). 
And if so, what year were grocery stores allowed to sell:
Wine? 
Beer? 
Liquor? 

Were there any restrictions on selling food items (appetizers, such as
tins of pate, etc.) in retail liquor stores between 1982 and the
present day?

If so, please summerize those restrictions (or attach the statute).

When were those restrictions lifted (if they were)?

Were there any restrictions on selling non-food items (such as
flowers) in retail liquor stores between 1982 and the present day?

If so, please summerize those restrictions (or attach the statute).

When were those restrictions lifted (if they were)?

What was the age requirement for retail liquor store employees in 1982?

Were retail liquor stores allowed to operate seven days a week between
1963 and the present day?

If not, please summerize those restrictions (or attach the statute).

When was that restriction lifted (if it was)?
