A state-by-state guide to liquor laws around the nation

By RYAN GORMAN and EMILY CEGIELSKI

As states across the country begin to legalize marijuana, we here at AOL thought it would be a good idea to take a look at liquor laws around the nation.

Some states have very strict laws, others feel as if you can buy a handle of vodka and a case of Natty just about anywhere.

We've broken down what can be bought where, between what hours and on what days.

States like New Jersey limit all liquor, wine and beer sales to just liquor stores, and others like New Hampshire allow for beer to be sold in supermarkets but only allow liquor and wine to be bought from state-owned liquor stores with arcane hours.

Illinois allows wine, beer and liquor to be sold everywhere, even at pharmacies.

New York allows for beer sales in supermarkets, delis and gas stations. Liquor and wine can only be bought in liquor stores. But no establishment can serve or sell any alcohol between 4:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on Sunday mornings.

As marijuana becomes more widely legalized, similar differences may begin to appear.

For now, the slideshow above will help you make sense of where to buy your favorite hooch.
