And yet every time a drunk student does something stupid its the union that ends up getting castigated rather than a supermarket.

Here in Pennsylvania, you can only buy beer from licensed distributors. Also to buy any liquor at all, the only source is the State Store, yes, the only source is the Pennsylvania government owned State Stores. This goes back to 1933 when Prohibition was repealed and it's been that way ever since although some are trying to change that.
