No need to look as far as Sweden, in most Canadian provinces, alcohol is controlled through a Gov-monopoly. In some of them, you can buy beer&wine at the grocery store (or convenience stores), but even they have to buy it from the official government supplier and sell at the fixed price.

DABC in Utah is a perfect example of a government run monopoly on alcohol. The only wine and liquor stores in the state are run by the state. Many absurd regulations crop up alongside this, for instance the Zion Curtain.
