Hong Kong has very liberal liquor laws and since moving here I have become used to seeing alcohol everywhere. There are specific booze and wine shops such as Watson's Wine but the only restrictions on the sale of alcohol is on who can buy it. Technically you have to be over 18 to purchase booze, but I haven't been able to put it to the test. I am well past the stage of my life when I needed to bring ID to purchase alcohol. So because of the lack of any restrictions you will find all sorts of alcohol in the grocery store. And seeing cans of beer or bottles of Smirnoff Ice next to the bottles of water and iced tea in 7-11 is common. Heck, compared to some designer waters, beer is a much better value, if not cheaper! But now you can pick up some booze along with your Besta storage unit and MJOD beer glasses! Meatballs anyone?
