Grocers scan DL for in-store liquor purchases. Beer and wine. Beer distributors, no, if you pay cash. And we have state stores, they don't scan for cash either.

I hear what you're saying, but I don't see a lot of liability if the state knows I bought a bottle of wine and a case of beer three years ago. I don't like it, but it is what it is, you want to buy it, or you don't.
