Definition of undefined

The term "liquor store" originated in the late 19th century in the United States. It's a combination of two words: "liquor," referring to alcoholic beverages, and "store," meaning a place of business for selling goods. The term gained popularity during the Prohibition era (1920-1933) when the sale of alcoholic beverages was illegal. The use of the word "liquor" emphasized that these establishments were selling alcoholic beverages and not just any kind of store. Since then, "liquor store" has become a common and widely understood term for a retail outlet that sells alcoholic beverages.
