24/7?! When I lived in FL, the cutoff was 2am if I remember correctly. Still not too bad though. And it was pretty cool being able to buy beer & wine at Wal-Mart; the local Supercenter even sold kegs.

Ohio had a strange law-- you could buy liquor at supermarkets and gas stations, but it had to be diluted to something like 30 or 40 proof. Most of the time they were very sneaky about this--the bottles typically looked like their full-strength counterparts, except for saying "diluted" in tiny, cursive, silver-on-gold lettering.

I moved out of Maryland before I was 21, so I'm not as familiar with their laws. They don't seem too bad at all, though--supermarkets could sell beer & wine if they had a license, and one time when I went back to visit the folks, I found a liquor store that was open at 1:30 on Christmas morning.

Pennsylvania was a royal pain in the ass. You can't buy a 6-pack of beer unless you go to a restaurant or bar, and pay their jacked-up prices. Otherwise you have to buy it by the case from a beer distributor. And those can't sell liquor. It'd take 30-40 minutes of driving around just to get a bottle of SoCo and some Miller Lite when I'd visit friends in Lancaster.

Wisconsin is mediocre. No liquor sales after 9pm, no beer after midnight. However there are no Sunday restrictions at all, which is a big plus. Standalone liquor stores are pretty rare here; most of them are combined with gas stations or supermarkets.
