North Carolina also has government controlled liquor stores.  We used
to be State controlled, but NC is now a local option state which means
local counties and municipalities determine if they want to have
liquor sales and then the establish local ABC (Alcoholic Beverage
Control) Commissions which report directly to the State ABC Board.
