Is it permissible to work in a pharmacy that sells alcoholic beverages, provided that one does not touch them, sell them, or go near them?

If your work in the pharmacy is completely separate from forbidden things, your salary is as long as the majority of the pharmacy's activity is halal. Working in a place free from forbidden things is better, and the regulations for residing in lands of disbelievers must be reviewed.
