<P> Any beverage containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (including low alcohol beer) is expressly exempt from all alcohol regulation in Missouri (including age restrictions), and is subject only to ordinary food safety laws . </P> <P> Missouri has no specific state limitations on the places where alcohol may be sold "off - premises" (i.e. for consumption elsewhere). As a result, Missouri is famous in the region for grocery stores, drug stores, and even gas stations throughout the state which sell a wide variety of beer, wine, and liquor . As long as it is not located within 100 feet (30 m) of a school or church, virtually any retail business (including a vague and undefined "general merchandise store") which obtains the proper licenses from the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control and local authorities may sell any type of alcohol . State law even forbids a local option and prohibits cities and counties from banning the off - premises sale of alcohol . </P> <P> Missouri does, however, limit the hours of retail alcohol sales to between 6: 00 AM and 1: 30 AM Monday through Saturday, and--for an additional license fee--between 9: 00 am (midnight) and 12: 00am on Sunday . </P> <P> Most municipalities, including St. Louis and Kansas City have enacted local laws following the state law, which prohibit the retail sale of liquor between 1: 30 AM and 6: 00 AM Tuesday through Saturday, and between midnight on Sunday and 9: 00 AM the following morning . </P>
