BC Liquor Stores are a chain of government-owned and operated retail outlets operated by the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch to distribute alcoholic beverages in the province of British Columbia, Canada.[2] They are accountable to the Attorney General of British Columbia.[4] BC Liquor Stores currently operate 198 locations across the province.[2] The chain was established in June 1921, following the result of a plebiscite in favour of liquor availability through government liquor stores.[1]: 43  Prior to the plebiscite, alcohol had been illegal through the Prohibition Act, introduced on May 23, 1916, with exceptions for sacramental, medicinal or industrial purposes.[1]: 21–22
