One thing at a time... let's get the gov out of retail first
they absolutely don't belong there and it costs the citizens money. When I was splitting time between here and Iowa, I did some comparisons, and for the most part ABC prices are $5- $8 a bottle higher than the same product in the grocery stores in Iowa, then you go to a Walmart or Costco and difference is even more.
The sin tax part, well, that's a much bigger fish to fry (or pig to slaughter more aptly). Gov learned a long time ago that taxes on things that people won't give up (booze, tobacco, gas) are the best because they are inflation and recession proof. Gambling is the new one, have to tax it to make it safe to protect people....
