Here in the UK you can buy booze more or less anywhere that you can buy food. Almost any supermarket or corner shop will supply you what you want.

In the US with all the variety there are places like that, but then places where you seemingly can't find alcohol to buy and take home anywhere.

There's differences between how wine & beer, and hard liquor are treated. I'd say the "average" experience is beer in any corner shop or gas station, beer and wine in a grocery store, and hard liquor in specific liquor stores.
