TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Since Prohibition was repealed in 1933, Florida has not allowed supermarkets to sell liquor unless the grocer had a separate entrance and store, the Tampa Bay Times reports. This year, some state legislators are hoping to change a law they call archaic, cumbersome and just plain silly.

Florida Sen. Bill Galvano and Reps. Jimmie Smith and Greg Steube have sponsored legislation that would jettison the rules regarding separate stores and entrances. Walmart and Target both support the measure, which is in committees as of press time.

Of course, the bill has sparked opposition from liquor store owners. “The issue is how easy do we want to make it for teens to get liquor,” said Charles Bailes, CEO of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits. “When you increase access to minors, you increase abuse and all the things that come with it.”

Floridians for Fair Business Practices, a group working for Target and Walmart to push the bill, said supermarkets already handle beer and wine responsibly, so adding liquor won’t change their security measures. “We're just looking at it as a common sense law,” said Christina Johnson, spokeswoman for the group. “People have access to alcohol right now, whether they go in one door or another.”

Currently, Florida is one of just over a dozen states with the separate store requirement. Oregon is debating a similar bill that has received a cool reception from lawmakers, while a recent Kentucky appeals court decision found that the state could enforce a law that prohibited the sale of alcohol at retail locations that receive 10% of sales from gasoline or groceries.
