Not completely accurate.
I'm going to work from an asymmetric timeline so try to follow along.....
Democratic policy will entitle you to one case. (for argument sake, lets say a case comes from the factory as 100 individual bottles)
This case will be delivered directly into your hands by a delivery service headquartered in the home town of a prominent politician. This delivery service will enjoy freedom from local competition based on sizable campaign donations that result in favorable legislation. The delivery service has to cover an 18 bottle federal excise tax that goes back to the government...
-the case of Irish whiskey now has 82 bottles
The vendor has to give up a jobber fee to the distributor to allow the truck to sport that famous product logo - the jobber fee is minimal and well worth the overall profit recognized by the distributor
-the case of Irish whiskey now has 76 bottles
The distributor has to cover the health care costs associated with Obamacare as well as the fees for their liquor license and the carbon offsets created by their storage facilities.
-the case of Irish whiskey now has 37 bottles
The importer has to tariffs.
-the case of Irish whiskey now has 12 bottles
The manufacturer has to pay import fees to ensure his bottling operation is in compliance with US laws and ATF regulations regarding ingredients and purity
--the case of Irish whiskey is empty and the buyer is about 4 bottles in the hole
The USA suspends tariffs on Scotch and Irish Whiskies
-the case of Irish whiskey now has 21 bottles
In addition to the 18 percent sales tax, the US government has enacted a 2.5% "sin tax" and a .25% recycle tax on all glass bottles.
-the case of Irish whiskey now has one bottle that is only 1/4 full.
THAT is the "sip" you are referring to.
Dont drink and drive.
