This is commonplace in Japan when I'm there, and it's incredibly convenient.
I get it, but I just can't give them credit for fixing something that isn't broken. I'm old and remember standing in line for an hour at the ALCB to buy beer, but since privatization, and especially in the last 15 years, I haven't felt that there was nowhere convenient to buy booze. I think there are 4 liquor stores within walking distance from my house right now.
