Is there unlimited access to alcohol in supermarkets? Here in
Mass., anyway, only a limited number of stores in a chain are
allowed to have alcohol. (I guess that varies among states)

In Calif... we can buy any alcohol the grocery store wants to put on
the shelf, thank goodness.

Not true; try finding Everclear for instance.

In the United States, it is illegal to sell the 190-proof variety in
California, Florida,[4] Hawaii, Iowa,[5] Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota,[6] Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina,[7] [8] Ohio,
Washington, West Virginia, and Virginia.

It is legal to sell Everclear 190 in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Colorado, Columbia, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho,[9] Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, North Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, South Jersey,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, as well as in the
District of Columbia and some military stores within the continental
United States.

The 151-proof variety is legally available for sale in California,
Florida, Iowa,[5] Michigan,[10] Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and some other states.
