In Alabama, groceries and convenience stores sell beer and table wine of up to 16.5% alcohol by volume, but not spirits. Alabama issues no off-premises liquor license to a general retailer, and a package-store licensee may not sell general grocery items, so liquor comes from state ABC stores and licensed package stores. Some counties and municipalities are dry.
