I know it wouldn’t go well with the existing culture around it but I am so incredibly for making it illegal for general grocery stores to sell any alcohol above 5%.
Alcohol is a drug. And drugs shouldn’t be available to anyone as readily as bread. Make it only be available to specialist stores and increase taxes on alcohol to hell and back! (unless it’s pure ethanol… Please leave some slack for us hobbyist chemists and tinkerers ;-;)

I mean I get your point but also it just introduces an inconvenience for normal people, and I don’t think it really decreases alcohol abuse. People who are genuine addicts will just go where the alcohol is, might as well make it easy for them to pick up the groceries at the same time, otherwise they might just not do that.
