How 'bout warehouse clubs?

Sams and Costco always have those nice people handing out samples. Don't have a card? Don't fret. Do a little research--in my state, anyone can buy alcohol with or without a membership card at one of these places. Just point at the booze and go for it. Also successful: "I was parking the car for my (mom, GF, roommate.)" Or you can get a one-day "lookaround" card--they give these to you free at the customer service desk in the hope that you'll swoon over the prices and fork over $35 so you can buy twelve dozen cheapo bottles of spaghetti sauce. You can go in by the exit door looking preoccupied and mutter something about leaving your driver's license at the checkout.

The good pickings are on Saturday, BTW, and the place is an absolute zoo.
