North Carolina ranks 48th in per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages, compared to South Carolina, which ranks 30th.

Because of North Carolina's monopolistic system, alcohol prices are lower in neighboring states.

Bar owners should also be concerned about the recent smoking ban in bars. Given that cigarettes and liquor are quite often consumed in tandem, the ban may inhibit bar visits and lower sales due to frequent cigarette breaks.

In conclusion, anyone with the dream of buying a bar should pause to consider the real life ramifications of such a significant purchase: licensing requirements, exposure to legal liability, daily duties that require acute attention to detail, and stiff competition. Taken together, these practical aspects of bar ownership make it look like a daily nightmare followed by a stressful evening.
