Tax Policy Gave Us White Claw

People have said such things. Sometimes these things change. But for the most part it achieves its original goal (which varies by jurisdiction), and hurts no one, so it continues.

I've never been so hard up for a drink that I need to buy liquor and beer in the same store. And if I was, I hope that I'd have the sense to check myself into rehab.

That is a silly justification for a silly rule. They idea that you have to go to a state run store to by booze is soviet-like. Really, that's stupid. When I'm in California one can shop around and get selection and price. In North Carolina or Virginia one is limited to a soviet style market. To make a stretch from a working free market to rehab is fallacious and simple minded.

I meant the part about "these two drinks are treated differently because of how they were produced even though it's the same % alcohol", not the liquor/grocery store separation.
