Now, when it comes to drinking in public, things get a little hairy. In Arizona, it's illegal to drink in public, unless you're in a designated area, like a sidewalk café or a park that allows booze. But don't worry, the cops won't bust you for sipping a beer on your front porch... unless you're being a nuisance, that is.
And then there are the bars and clubs, where the real party happens. In Arizona, bars can stay open until 2 am, but only if they have a special late-night license. And, fun fact: did you know that Arizona has a mandatory ID check law, which means that if you look under 30, you'll need to whip out your ID to prove you're not a minor?

But what about wine and beer, you ask? Well, in Arizona, you can buy wine and beer at a grocery store or a specialty shop, but not at a liquor store. Yep, it's a little confusing, but just remember: if you want vodka, go to a liquor store; if you want merlot, go to a grocery store.
