Alternate end to Prohibition

Just an idea I had in the shower this morning.

What if instead of totally annulling Prohibition, the federal government allows liquor to be sold only in federal government shops? That way, they can crack down on profiteering and also produce income for the government. At least, that's probably what the bill's sponsors will say. I'm sure there's legal and economic problems with this idea, but I can't think what they are at the moment.

Thoughts?

PA does it that way. Although it was 'state stores', not federal stores.

Yeah, I'm talking on a nation-wide level. It seems to work in Pennsylvania, but then again, I've never been there longer than two weeks.
