If you're a liquor connoisseur, you know by now that finding the products you want at the prices you can afford can be a confusing and sometimes frustrating experience, particularly if the product you're looking for isn't available in your state. This has caused a great deal of confusion for many consumers who aren't familiar with state laws, pricing, and the liquor industry.

Most people don't realize that every state in the country has its own set of unique laws related to liquor distilling, sale, and distribution.

In general, however, there are two types of states - Control States and Open States.

Control States are those in which the State itself owns the point of distribution and/or sale of liquor. In this type of system, minimum prices are set by the State.

Open States are those in which private businesses are free to buy and sell alcohol (in accordance with varying State laws). In this system, businesses set their own prices. This competition between private liquor store owners generally forces prices down and increases access to a more diverse selection of products.

In case you're wondering, South Carolina is an Open State. This is part of the reason why we are able to offer such a wide selection of Liquors, Beer, and Wine that many other states cannot. It's also why we are able to offer our selection at sharply discounted prices.

If you're traveling through South Carolina from or through any number of Control States, just take a moment to compare our prices with those you'll find in:

• North Carolina
• Ohio
• Pennsylvania
• Virginia
• Alabama
• Mississippi
• Michigan
• Iowa
• Maine
• New Hampshire
• Montana
• Idaho
• West Virginia
• Wyoming
• Oregon
• Idaho
• Vermont
• Utah

A quick calculation of the amount you'll save by putting off your purchase until you reach South Carolina will likely surprise you. What's more, at Micky Finn's, you'll come across some rare bourbon, whiskey, gin, vodka, or tequila as well as locally distilled liquors and locally brewed craft beer.

Our Liquor Store and Beverage Warehouse, located right off I-95 (next to Buc-cee's), makes it easy for you to take advantage of our prices and selection without any detours.

We also have two other locations in Florence - Our Five Points and South Side stores, both only a few minutes off the interstate and each with their own hidden and rare finds.

Stop in at any one of our locations, take advantage of our discounted prices, rewards programs, and vast selection. You'll be glad you did.
