True. Wine and beer in wine and beer shops (and in ONE store of a chain - one only). Distilled spirits is limited to county stores. And all wine, beer and liquor has to be bought from the county warehouse. California, where I'm from, has two simple laws: (1) not between 0200-0600 (2) not if you're under 21. Other than that, nothing. You can get vodka with your bread and milk at the supermarket.
