Alaska: Where can you buy liquor?
Private licensed stores
Alaska licenses privately owned package stores to sell liquor; the state does not buy or sell liquor itself.
A package store license lets a private business sell alcoholic beverages, including liquor, to customers who are in the store. No state-run liquor stores or state wholesale system were found.
What the law says
A package store license authorizes the holder to operate a package store ... to sell alcoholic beverages with federally compliant labels to a person present on the licensed premises.
