Common questions

What time can you buy alcohol in Idaho?
6 a.m. to 1 a.m. The same window covers beer, wine, and liquor, and Idaho preempts local alcohol hours, so it applies statewide.
Can you buy alcohol on Sunday in Idaho?
Yes. Idaho allows alcohol from 6 a.m. on Sunday.
Is alcohol sold on holidays in Idaho?
Idaho restricts sales on Christmas Day, Memorial Day, New Year's Day, and Thanksgiving Day. The restriction is not always a full-day closure, so check the table for what closes and when.
