It was kind of startling, when we lived there, to see a full liquor selection in the grocery store. And there were NO liquor stores at all. Maybe some states have a longer history of trying to regulate sales of "hard liquor", which led to free-standing liquor stores. And once those exist, like in Texas, you could probably never get a bill through the legislature to allow more widespread sales beyond beer and wine. The liquor store lobby no doubt has deep pockets and would resist. That’s the way it is in New Mexico too.
