Seriously, they don't have Drive-Thru liquor stores in the U.S ?

Wow, I could go to a Drive-Thru Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas ... but not a liquor store

But you can buy liquor right in the supermarket in the US. I think the drive-thru bottle-o is only an Aussie thing. They certainly didn't have them in Canada either - there, the sale of liquor is done mostly though govt-run liquor boards. Very restrictive!
