Used to live in PA and now live in MI and there are definitely some big differences when it comes to liquor laws. It was a small culture shock to see that gas stations and supermarkets could casually sell beer and hard liquor in MI. In PA, until recently, you pretty much couldn't buy alcohol outside of state owned stores.
On the flipside, because liquor licenses are so easy to get in MI, most of my friends have never heard of BYOBing to a restaurant and think I'm insane when I suggest we grab a 6-pack and drink it at a local place that doesn't sell drinks. Most of them seem to think it's illegal (maybe it is?), but it's pretty much standard practice in large parts of PA.
Man it's so weird going somewhere with more lax liquor laws. It's also strange that we just accept them as normal.
