- NevadaPermitted
In Nevada, groceries and convenience stores sell all three — beer, wine and spirits — because Nevada's retail liquor store definition carries no product-class or store-type limit, though hours are set locally. State law sets no closing hour, but NRS 369.190 and 369.320 leave licensing and hours to counties and cities, so 24-hour availability is the norm in Clark and Washoe rather than a statewide guarantee. Expect local variation elsewhere.

In Oregon, groceries and convenience stores sell beer, wine and cider in factory-sealed containers — plus growlers of up to 2 gallons — but distilled spirits are excluded entirely from the off-premises license. Spirits sell only at OLCC-appointed liquor stores.
