I've been spoiled living my entire life in a state where Anheuser Busch wrote the alcohol laws. Their beer may taste like toilet water, but at least they had a good influence on Missouri's laws.
People who visit from other states are always amazed that you can buy booze at gas stations, grocery stores, Walgreens, etc. Just about anywhere, really. Likewise, I find it nuts that in some states, you can only buy it at state run liquor stores.
Germany is my favorite though. Pretty sure it's never not acceptable to drink. You can have a beer anywhere at anytime without people wondering if you have a problem
