Each state has its own rules on the distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages. Some states require liquor to be sold through state-owned and state-operated stores (examples are Alabama and Pennsylvania) or require a three-tiered system of distribution (manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer; Texas requires such).
Other common restrictions include when and where alcoholic beverages can be sold. Texas, for example, requires cities or counties to approve such sales (and require separate votes for beer and wine sales vs. liquor sales) and does not permit sales at certain times (beer and wine cannot be sold on Sunday before noon, liquor cannot be sold at all on Sunday) or in certain places (liquor stores must be physically separated from any other retail establishment on the premises, and when closed cannot sell any item, even items which can otherwise be legally sold at that time).
