(1) For alcohol distributors and purchasers in Maryland, kindly take note that Maryland generally does not allow sales of beer or wine in grocery stores or convenience stores. Alcoholic beverages are generally sold through private retail stores rather than state stores. However, this rule varies between counties. Montgomery County, for example, only allows sales of alcohol in o-called ABC (state stores, similar to those in Alabama, etc.), so you should know your local municipal ordinances on these issues. Local laws also determine the hours and days that alcohol may be sold. Also, check with an experienced attorney who is familiar with these varying laws.
