Not "back east" in general, but Pennsylvania in particular.
You wanna' hear crazy? If I remember corectly, in Pennsylvania not only can you NOT buy beer at a grocery store, but you can't buy it at a CONVENIENCE store either. You have to go to a specific "beer store" (I don't know what they're called) that just sells beer (and wine? Heck, I'm not even sure if they can sell wine there)
Also, you can't buy anything less than a 12-pack. That's right. NO singles or 6-packs. HUH?!?!??!?!?!
And if you want hard liquor you've got to go to a specialty store as well. This isn't nearly as crazy as the beer thing, but I mention it because in California you can buy liquor at Ralphs (a grocery store)
PA has the stupidist alcohol purchase laws that I've ever seen. (no offense to any PA citizens here who might have lobbied for those laws. I just find them ludicrous)
