Liquor Stores

People in the Cincinnati area flock to Northern Kentucky for its cheaper and more plentiful alcohol due to its looser drink laws.

Muslims who prefer to drink in their hotel room should check out some of these local stores, particularly for their excellent selection of Kentucky Bourbon.
