Liquor and mixers are sold together in grocery stores (groceries sell lower proof liquors). Growing up in Ohio in the 70s/80s, all liquor except beer and wine was only available in state liquor stores. Beer and wine wasn't regulated nearly as strictly as it is now, however. As a result, I never sampled hard liquor until I moved to Florida in 1992 at age 23, but I had already spent 7 or 8 years absorbing cheap beer and wine coolers into my liver (yes, that math is correct). The hard stuff was just too much of pain in the ass to get, no matter what your age. The state stores were too inconviniently located, and all closed at 5PM. This might answer the original question about how it curbs problem drinkers. If you don't plan way ahead, you get nohing (and LIKE it!).
