Only special licenced shops are allowed to sell booze
They're open from 11-6pm except fridays when they're open till 7pm. Completely closed on sundays and all special holidays (christmas day, easter, independence day etc.). I just went and googled. I was wrong. Three shops in the entire country are always open until 8pm (except sundays when they're closed like the others)
There's also really high alcohol taxes, comes to roughly a dollar of extra tax PER CAN OF BEER. So for a 6 pack, you'd be paying normal price plus VAT plus 12$
..there's a reason moonshine is pretty common there.
Anyway I used to work near one of the special licenced alcohol shops and every monday morning the cops would lie in wait and surprise breathalize pretty much everyone who drove into the parking lot. It was sort of amusing to watch from my office window.
