Governor Moore backs lifting Maryland's ban on grocery store beer and wine sales

Governor Wes Moore of Maryland has expressed support for lifting the state's longstanding ban on grocery stores selling beer and wine, a policy that has been in place since the end of Prohibition. This move is part of a broader legislative effort to modernize Maryland's alcohol laws, which currently restrict the sale of these beverages to liquor stores. The proposed change aims to align Maryland with the majority of U.S. states where grocery stores can sell beer and wine, potentially benefiting consumers by offering more convenience and possibly lower prices due to increased competition. The initiative has sparked a debate between those who see it as a step towards modernization and those concerned about the potential negative impacts on small liquor store businesses and the control of alcohol sales.
