Humanity is fucked when you can buy death from a vending machine. Where are the vodka vending machines? No? Just things to kill people.
Cigarette vending machines used to be quite common. Even today, there are some alcohol vending machines in controlled areas (some fancy hotels have 24/7 vending machines stocked with a particular brand of champagne bottles).
A hotel I stayed at recently had a vending machine filled with beer and wine. It just worked with the honour system, no ID check or whatever.
It was fairly nicely priced too, especially for a hotel.
