Yes, I can. You said "booze". That normally means hard liquor.

booze (bz) Slang
n.
1.
a. Hard liquor.
b. An alcoholic beverage.

See definition 1a. Definitions in a dictionary are usually ranked in
order of common meaning.

Anyway, thanks for the clarification I asked for.

Wrong, mostly.

OH has drive thrus for beer and wine, etc. "Spirituous liquors" may
be sold only at "state stores" although some groceries may sell “mixed
beverages" of "not more than twenty-one per cent of alcohol by
volume."

So nothing will change... New Jersey will remain (eastern)
Pennsylvania's liquor store .

Nope, except a few places have finagled ways around the rules;
Wegman's supermarkets have separate eat-in areas licensed as bars, and
you can buy beer there. More than a six-pack is legal, but I forget
how much more; I think two six-packs are OK but three are not.
