If they sell it in glass to drivers to drink there, yes.
If they sell it packaged in a way that is obviously intended to remain in the package while being driven home and opened at home, then no more than having parking lots at stores that sell alcohol.
However, having parking lots and pubs, bars, etc., does. They should have a sign "reserved for non-customers".

Well, they sell guns and ammunition at WalMart does that mean they encourage armed robbery and murder?
The convenience store side of a fuel station just became a way for the owner to make additional income that requires little sweat.
I still prefer the old style fuel station that had Gomer and Goober working the garage and you could depend on them to get you out of a jam if your car broke down far from a repair shop or dealership. These guys made more money selling service (repairs) than gasoline in many cases. Gasoline was 32 cents a gallon and they pumped it and topped off your oil and fluids and cleaned the windshield and the air in you tires.
Now it's nearly $3.00 a gallon or more and you pump it yourself and check the oil yourself and clean your own windshield and air up your own tires and the attendant couldn't fix your car if their life depended on it. No tools and no knowledge and no garage.
Good Luck!

A good question, yes I think selling alcohol in petrol stations gives the wrong message. It is almost as bad as setting up multi casinos in deprived areas of England because the government wants money money money.

No it does not.. I worked in two BP stations, one on the A43 at Brackley which sold alcohol without any problems whatsoever. I was more averse to selling lottery tickets come to think of it...
The other one was Bullionfield near Dundee. No alcohol, no lottery, no car wash..poor toilet facilities for the amount of traffic going through the place.. The staff made up for it though...well done them.

I've never seen booze in a gas station, all the ones round here sell are dead flowers, £4.99 barbecues and things that look almost like hot dogs.

I dont think so. If people are dumb enough to put themselves and others around them in danger then they shouldnt be drinking in the first place. People can buy some for the passengers, but yes it is a temptation for the driver. They have to be responsible and i think drunk drivers should face harsher punnishments. Shoot....Nicole Ricie and others celebs who dui should be in prison a lot longe than a few hours. they totally get special treatment.
Did u know that every year 13000 people die from DUI related Accidents?!?!?
Its time to change the world people.

Yes.
I've always thought this was a poor choice of product to sell in a petrol station.

I think if people are going to drink and drive they will do it regardless of where they can buy the alcohol.

No...they sell all kinds of crap at "gas" stations...that's why the politically correct term is "convenience" store.
