Yup. The liquor lobby has a stranglehold on Congress and many state legislatures. Here in CO you can only get 3.2 beer at the supermarket or convenience store. No wine or hard liquor.

In PA, you can only purchase wine/liquor from "State Stores" and beer from distributors or specific six-pack shops. No beer aisle in Walmart or the gas station. Now living out of state, I still get confused when I go to the supermarket and see alcohol for sale, having lived in PA for most of my life.

A wonderful specimen to celebrate a great thing!

As to the morass of laws permitting, or not, the shipment of liquor between free men...

almost sounds like something that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives would do. I'll bet they could find a way to collect a $200 "tax" stamp if they really wanted to - then again, there's always invocation of "interstate commerce" which is their other default excuse.

Sick situation, enabled by cowards.
