How do Colorados liquor laws compare to other states?
Colorados antiquated liquor laws date back to the days of prohibition and are more outdated than 80 percent of the country. Forty other states allow grocery stores to sell full-strength beer, 37 states have grocery stores that carry beer and wine, and 18 states permit grocery stores to sell beer, wine and spirits. Colorados neighbors to the north and south Wyoming and New Mexico have laws similar to what is being proposed in House Bill 1279. And grocery stores there are not dominating the market.
