Here in Anchorage, you will have no problem finding alcohol. Most of the Carr's stores have a store attached to them and then we have other free standing liquor stores.

Not sure of the liquor laws in Alaska but our experience has been the further north you go the more likely you may not be able to buy alcohol. Example: At Barrow several years ago, you could bring in alcohol (possess it) but you could not buy it directly. You had to have it shipped to a 'control point' which doled it out on some schedule.
Being from a blue laws state, I found it funny that you could not buy beer or wine in the grocery store (had to be attached separate room/facility) but they did sell it on Sunday morning (at least in Palmer they did).

We had no problem finding beer & wine in Alaska, from Fairbanks to Valdez at the Safeway's. I seem to remember that customs has a limit on alchohol, but no one asked or checked when we went thru last summer. Have a safe trip......I know you'll have a wondeful time!

I can't think of anywhere on the road system were it's not legal. The dry villages you hear about are typically very remote, and not accessible by road.

Anywhere you can drive you'll be able to find whatever you might want. Some of the villages are dry but you'll have to fly into those. Happy traveling!
