Overall the availability for both cigarettes and alcohol were greater in Ireland. You could find cigarettes at any local gas station or grocery store, same as you can in the US but you could also find a cigarette machine placed in many pubs for convenience. I know the US use to have a couple cigarette machines a while back, but we've gotten rid of a lot since then. Now for alcohol i saw a huge increase in availability. Most grocery stores in the US carry beer, but i haven't seen many that carry any liquor. In Ireland i saw many grocery stores which sold both beer, and liquor. Finally, another reason i realized the alcohol availability is so high in Ireland is because the drinking age is 18 you don't get ID hardly as much as you do in the US. I only got ID twice the whole 3 weeks i was in Ireland for alcohol. Everywhere you go in the US you can guarantee you'll get ID, my parents are in their 50s and i still see them get ID.
