Comment on Why do we have alcohol advertisements. We don't allow cigarettes to advertise

I think about this with grocery stores. All you want is some cereal and there's a giant aisle of temptation people have to walk through

Considering the liquor is off to the side, no, you don’t need to walk through it to get to the cereal. Let’s not imply that more regulation is needed

Depends on the store

The law is different in different parts of the world. In some parts of the world, alcohol can only be purchased in specialty stores. In other parts, it can be bought effectively anywhere.
In line with OP’s question, CVS made a big deal about banning the sale of tobacco in all its pharmacies a decade ago, saying it could not sell tobacco products and be a health care provider at the same time. However, in some states, a CVS will have rows of alcohol for sale because it is legal to sell there.
